Algae Killing

[steadyb]

I have small patches of algae on most of my plants. there by no means green and velvety but you can see hairs starting out. if the problems with the tank are corrected, can i expect the algae to die or does it need removing completely, bearing in mind this would mean taking almost all the leaves and plantes out.

Take a look at this guide to find out which algae you have. It should also detail how to get rid of it.
You didn't mention any of the tank's stats..
Tank size
Lighting
CO2
Fertiliser
What plants
Filter and water circulation.
