Algae control in small system

[tang daddy]

I suggested an algae scrubber to another member on here that had problems and it has worked very well for him, I am thinking of DIY ing one from a plastic waste bucket with a t off the return pump as I have enough room behind my tank....but first I want to see what Gfo can do as I bought a cheap reactor to try it out. I only have small tufts of hair algae in my display and my sump/refuge hardly grows any....
