Converting Macroalgae reactor to grow Turf Algae, thoughts?

[Exus]

So I'm having terrible luck growing chaeto in my Tunze macroalgae reactor, even cheatogro doesn't work for me. But I did notice green turf algae growing on the sides of the reactor. My sump has no room from a standard algae scrubber, so I want to try to use the macroalgae reactor to grow green turf algae.

So here is my idea, to use a similar plastic mesh to what algae scrubbers use, intersect three sheets of it, rough up the surface, and hope algae grows on it.

Is there a reason why this idea wouldn't work? Is there something special about those waterfall style algae scrubbers that makes it more efficient at growing algae than a reactor?

I think the waterfall turf scrubbers are the industry standard per se as I’ve only seen one type of scrubber that has a significantly different design, that being an upflow algae scrubber from Santa Monica Filtration. Nevertheless, the smallest upflow scrubber from SMF has worked well for me although I don’t have any comparison to a waterfall scrubber (which SMF also produces).
