Cultivating phyto and Macro

[Spare time]

Hello!


So I am wanting to start a tub for growing macro algae to sell, as well as a phytoplankton and copepod culture. Do you see problems with cultivating the phyto and the macro-algae in the same system? (note that the copepods would be in a separate system). The issue I was thinking would be the water turning too dark from the phyto and the macro not being able to get enough light.

Curious what others will say here. I have never cultivated phyto but my first thought is that it should be ok. Again, take my opinion with some salt as I am not that experienced with phyto
