Hello, I recently have been getting some green algae growth on a few rocks in m tank. I run rowaphos in a reactor. Phosphates are undetectable and nitrates are around 2. I used to run a fuge with mixed results. Everything was good for about a year then this started. So I had an old ten gallon narrow sump. I made it into a UAS. Can anyone tell me if this is ok? My major concern is that the algae is growing on the walls of the UAS as well as the screen. Is that gonna work? I am getting great growth on the screen but it hasn't helped my display tank at all.

A white plastic wall behind it would help that a lot.

Also clean off all the dark growth.
