growing macro algae?

[Greatreefer]

Does any one know if you can have sea urchins and snails in a macro algae aquarium?
Also, for those who have grow and keep calurpa, do you need to dose any supplements to keep the macro algae happy?

Sea Urchins will eat your macros. Snails I would trust; mine are so pokey I barely feel they qualify as herbivores. I have 5g tank with airstone and 5k LED light growing red ogo and I dose NeoNitrate, NeoPhos, and Chaeto Grow but its just drops each week. I have not yet on purpose given my sea urchin any red ogo - it goes on clip daily in main tank for tangs, and tangs eat red ogo pretty fast

Sea urchins would be the last thing I would introduce to my macroalgae aquarium. Otherwise, it would be a FOWLR ;Dead.
As for other coinhabitants…
