Some Algae can consume some but the nuisance type that you have isn't consuming much. Coraline on the other hand consumes a fair bit.
Yes you should look at using the media in a reactor , results are better/efficient and faster and more bang for your buck. Use small amounts changed more often than large amounts changed less often , remember these arnt natural processes and misuse Could lead to bigger issues so go slow and small
The detritus should be removed using a syphon tube , blasting the rocks is good but all that detritus needs to be removed, another sign that flow could be better as well and maybe even filtration methods.
