So I turned my Aquaclear 70 into a refugium using the guide here:

I picked up macro algae from the LFS yesterday, and they didnt have cheato, but I got what they had and it looks like it is Caulerpa grape coral. I was curious how long it typically takes to see any results for something like this as far as nitrate export goes?
The reason I modified this was that my nitrates were slightly increased (nothing crazy, but not 0). My tank is a 20 gallon, and despite my weekly 25% water changes I am still seeing slightly increased nitrates. I can't recall the level, but on my API test its a pale orange-ish, not yellow.
I will be doing a WC tomorrow, and it hasn't quite been 24 hours since I added the macro algae but I am not seeing any change in nitrates. It is likely I am just impatient, but I wanted to check in and see what I should expect to see with this. I have attached some pics for reference.
