Algae scrubber / chaeto reactor recommendations for AIO?

In my new JBJ, I’m still getting some pretty mean hair algae growth feeding 1/4 cube of frozen to two fish daily paired with a 5 gallon water change weekly - so I’m looking for nutrient export options.

Has anyone on RC used any of the options in the market in a tank like this? If so, what do you recommend? Nitrates currently sitting around 20 - id like to get them under 10 consistently before purchasing my first corals.

CJ’s Aquariums on YT had success with a Santa Monica Drop scrubber and I was considering one of those opposed to a DIY Chaeto reactor as I’ve read the scrubbers are more effective - but am not sold on one yet.
