get an algea scraper, the ones that look like cloth. hold you turtle(make sure his feet is planted on your hand) and wet the cloth and wipe it off.
wen a tank is by the sun, that causes algea to produce.

A thin layer of green algae on a turtle's shell is not a problem. If you wish to eliminate it, try some fo the products made for fish tanks to clear it out.
Also, consider a bigger and better filter, then change and clean the tank completely.
