In my opinion, floaters like frogbits is very good in sucking up excess nutrients. If not put in very fast growers like vals, cabombas, ludwigia repens etc.

An afternoon trimming my watery garden is better
then an afternoon with a therapist

Apart from floating plants, Hygrophila polysperma, Ceratopteris thalictroides (water sprite fern), Limnophila sessiflora, Limnophila (Gratiola) hippuroides, Ceratophyllum demersum (Hornwort), Elodea sp, Hydrilla sp, Rotala indica are all attractive nutrient sponges.
Bacopa Caroliana too. Can give you some if you want!
Cheers!
Anything red?

i always fighting algae but still got more
My recommendation is Ceratopteris silisquosa.
I believe that it uses up nutrients in water column so fast(and grow amazingly fast as a result) that other plants like frogbits begin to show signs of nutrient deficieny after leaving the tank without liquid fertiliser for two weeks.
