I've been recently reading about the different types of algae and I have concluded that there is blue-green algae on the surface of the Eco-Complete substrate and on the Algae ball (Cladophora aegagropila) in my 10G grow-out tank.

I heard that I would be able to remove BGA by performing a blackout on the tank. Would I be able to do a 3-4 day blackout with the frys? If yes, how would I be able to feed them during the blackout period?

i'm sure you could, and you simply turn on the lights at feeding time and trun it out once feeding time is over.
 
I checked the algae in the tank, there is still a sheet of BGA on the Algae ball, but the ones on the substrate are pretty much gone. How would I be able to remove that type of algae (BGA) after the black-out treatment (which will be tomorrow)? Do I just remove the portions that have it attached to the algae ball?
