Phosphate problem

[vinnyd87]

I'm having a minor phosphate problem. I currently have a torch, a hammer, a rainbow back, a scooter blenny, and a frog spawn in my tank. I'm curious if a black out will harm any of my corals or fish. Also I looked into a sugar trick but I'm still uncertain about that. Please let me know what my options are thank you

And what will having the lights out do to fix it?

I'm having an algae outbreak and there is green on almost everything. I believe it is hair algae and I tested the water and my levels were about .25 after a 20 % water change on Friday.

Phosphates get their nutrients and food supply from lights correct? I read it somewhere that turning the lights out may help
