I would say the lesson hear is don’t skimp on your refractometer. Make sure it is intended for salt water. And calibrate them whenever you have doubt. My self, I use two and calibrate if they don’t give me the exact same result Which is not very often.

I may have most of what you need for an auto top off. You may need a bracket or perhaps have to pick up an overfill sensor. But you could have it for free if it helps you out. It’s not new but I believe it all works.
Algae is a challenge for everyone. The fact you are aware of it. And not ignoring it tells me you will be just fine. Tank is still new. There will be battles between algae, good bacteria, bad bacteria, calcium based life forms and a host of pests. All this while putting nutrients in the water...
