I'm not exactly sure as to how safe those algae tablets are, but I do have a suggestion.
Personally, I use Turtle Clean, it has the same effect as the algae tablets you saw and when I used it in my tank, algae and turtle waste seemed to lessen. Here's the link to it.

I used "algae fix" as the only place the tank can fit just so happens to be across the room from a window and in the summer it'd go green the same day you put new water in it. I found it worked a charm. I've read it is safe for turtles. Thank god for the winter. Been clear for quite some time now without.
