DIY Algae Reactor

[150 Gallon Reef]

I have a waterbox marine 60.2 which I am trying to take better control of nitrates and phosphates with. I have limited sump space but am currently using the somatic gfo reactor to run gfo and occasionally carbon. Would I be able to make an algae reactor out of this and how would I go about doing it? I keep the reactor hanging on the inside of the sump so if it ever leaked, it would leak back into the tank. Would I have to have the reactor hanging on the outside of the sump instead? Thanks for you help

I don't think the reactor is of high enough quality to last without cracking if you wrap the LEDs like normal. It would need to be surrounded with normal clip on lights etc. Its just a refugium crammed inside a canister.

What if I used lights like these? There would be no direct heat up against the reactor and allow for air flow.
