The fertilizer might encourage algae to grow, but it should still provide humidity.

If if I put several holes in my FC to help allow with gas exchange will that help the algae problem. I would like to use the perlite if possible?

I would think that IF you did get algae to grow inside your FC then any FAE would just encourage it, however, algae would be better than the umpteen-billion other things that could grow in there.

Algae would also consume CO2 and release O2 to sort of "freshen" the air; so...would it be such a bad thing?

Unless the algae created a bacterial problem (if it started to rot) it would be beneficial, IMO.
