this is getting confusing, I have read and been told that blackouts
kill the bacteria because it needs light to live and that a two to
four day blackout should kill all the bacteria in an aquarium. are
you saying that blackouts cannot work?

The blackouts will kill the chlorophil in the bacteria, but not the bacteria
itself. Once this is done you then have to make sure all your water
parameters are right, and keep them that way, or it will just come back
again. To get rid of it completely you have to kill the bacteria.

Read the rest of this thread, you will find there are more ways to deal with
this than you will have time to try
