If the screen is cotton, then ironically it will grow very fast until it starts dissolving in about 6 months. So the plastic 7-point is better long term.
The loops probably won't help, but will sure make harvesting more difficult. I'd cut them open.
Ramping the lights does not matter to algae. 18 on, 6 off, is fine.

Then test and watch your ammonia go sky high and drop to zero.
Test for nitrites and they should go up and bottom out too.
Then you should be only able to detect nitrates.
At that time it's cycled, but not an real mature reef, that takes time too.
Nice scape and build, sorry about your fish
