Algae in the radiator

I finally got the 83 cooled down at highway speeds. I had flushed it a couple of times. but today I pulled the bottom and top hose, stuck a garden hose in the top and let it go for about 1/2 hr. I was getting algae out of it. My guess is the PO had left it sit for a period of time with nothing but water in it. On the outside, it looks to be a fairly new replacement. I also pulled the tstat till I can figure a way to clear the rest(if any) of the growth out. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe running a strong bleach solution through just the radiator
