Question Help with Algae build up in the Ca reactor.

The sump light is next to the Calcium reactor. So now there is alot algae inside the ca reactor. Is this bad? How can I prevent it? Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for your help.

Put a Cape on your reactor like Superman. Seriously wrap a Black cloth around it, you can use zipties or a rubberband to hold the cloth around the reactor.
