cyano in refuge??

My Refugium is rufly 5 weeks old and I have some cyano(probably butchered the name) growing in there as well as some hair algea.I have a mag 24 as my return and the full force of my drainage runs through my fuge.Most of the actual flow runs over the top so I'm going to put a small PH in there.But is it bad to have either growing in there?I would guess that the hair algea is o.k. but not the other.
