Mixing macroalage in a refugium, good or bad?

[Fishingandreefing]

I have done it before but caulerpas alway win the battle over grapes and chaeto. I want to give it another try mainly I don’t like how caulerpas can go sexual.

I want to slowly let others take over by removing caulerpas weekly and let others grow.

what’s your thought?

(heard chaeto is better anyway)

You can mix them. I'd just remove all of the caulerpa that you can since can entangle in other macroalgae and be difficult to remove completely.

I have chaeto, and two types of caulerpa. They grow in different spurts. One will dominate for awhile then another will take over, etc. Right now chaeto is losing but it always comes back.
