For many people a blackout does cure Green Water. The key is to perform the blackout properly. Which means making sure that no light is getting in (make sure don't assume that blanket is thick enough), no peaking, no feeding the fish, making sure it is long enough (for some algae 3 days is enough, but for others 5 or more days may be necessary), and performing a larger water change before and after.
