I have 130 gallon goldfish pond in my backyard that gets plenty of sunlight. It is growing fine hair like green algae. How do I get rid of it?

Sounds like filamentous algae. Read this link:

Some alge is good, Although the direct sunlight is whats growing your alge....try planting a shade tree around it so it minimizes the sunlight.

Also Gypsom works great also. It won't harm your fish, but will rid off any unwanted plants in the water....remember to read the instructions CAREFULLY>
