Hello. I am trying to cultivate 3 macroalgae species in separate tanks for a research project and was wondering about sizing. The species are Ulva lactua, Vaucheria sp., and Fucus vesiculosus. How much water does each of these species need? What size tank is ideal? And how much of this algae can live in said environment without being overcrowded?
