Green spot Algae …

[Ossie]

My plants have green spot Algae.
May I ask if a three day blackout will kill it and after that will it just float away off the leaves …

Green Spot Algae is one of the more difficult algae to eradicate!
Not sure a blackout will work?
Usually its a low phosphate issue plus poor Co2 distribution.
More information is needed!

Please read the guidelines for Algae help!
