You can try the chlorox treatment (my book, p. 158 ). Whether it kills only the algae and not the plants depends on how long the treatment is and how tough/fibrous the plants are. If you use plants treated by this method and they look they're dying in the new tank, take them out. You really haven't lost anything by giving your old plants a chance. Better than throwing them out!
That said, be sure to plant plenty of non-treated, non-algae covered plants.
Sounds like you're trying hard. I wish you well.
