Sea Veggies

Just started feeding sea veggies tied to a rock in a piece if fishing line so I can get it out and noticed that the fishing like gets gunked with brouwn algae shortly after I put it in. Will running a filter sock on my overflow line get rid of the stuff obviously floating in the water collumn ? If so what size bag should I be looking for? any good (cheap) places to get 'em?
I run carbon and GFO in a reactor in the sump but thats not getting everything....

Thanks....

There are algae clips for sale here and there that will work better than the fishing line, I think.

A filter sock should catch most of the debris. I wouldn't bother, but the bag size probably doesn't matter much unless your tank has a very large amount of debris.
