Plants need phosphates to grow, but Jag, maybe look into grabbing a cheap UV unit, even a Jebo unit should work. Just only use it whenever you get bacteria blooms or green water.

The presence of CO2 never causes algae problems, so do NOT stop co2 unless you are attempting a black out.
If I do a black out some of my plants will die and others will go into poor condition. Some plants are already getting in bad shape because of this..
I don't have money to go out and get a UV filter. They are expensive, not cheap. This is been going on for about 2 weeks now.
I'm going to have to get some Clarity and clear it up..
Or, if it's bacteria floating around the water, wouldn't installing my new C220 canister filter trap all the bacteria in the media to help get my filtration started and clear up the tank?

I will do that.
I'm actually using cut pieces of this in my EMP-400 right now

This should filter it out pretty quick.
Will I have a problem again after removing my EMP-400 filter and replacing it with e new canister filter? Should I get some Seahem Stability to add to my new filter?

About 8 hours.
I thought about the window tint stuff, but I'm worried about the heat my light puts off and it it will mess up the tint. But if it is used for car windows in the hot summer sun, it might work.
I use the water clear products. They might help if all else fails. You can also got to a local fish dealer and ask what they use, and see how well it works in their tanks.
