my tank is pretty simple, just some goldfish, sharks, some other easy to keep fish.
my biggest problem is the algae, the water turns yellow long before it needs changed due to nitrates and such. I need some more algae eaters I guess.

You don't need algae eaters of a certainty. Yellow water is a sign of one of two things: Driftwood (or leaves or peat, but people generally only put those in TO stain the water), or an overstocked tank. Elaphe's right - More water changes. Or a bigger tank. I'm sure you'd be gobsmacked by the recommended tank sizes for goldfish and sharks.
