Can I use a log that used to have a snake on it in my fish tank? I put it in there and the water turned green. Any thoughts?

I have the laziest plecostomus on the planet. It will ONLY eat the algae inside the cave thing it calls its home. I've got red algae taking over my tank, and I'm already over the limit on "recommended inches of fish". What to do?

My fish tank goes green quicker than it used to. We got the two pretty good sized goldfish in the fall and the water didn't get really green until 2 1/2 weeks. Now we have to change the water every week if we want to see the fish. Whats happening?
