Multiple types of macroalgae?

[LT43]

What does everyone think about running more than one type of macro in a fuge? I see on AlgaeBarn they have a combo pack where you get 3-5 different types. I was planning on just running cheato but now i'm considering trying several different ones and seeing how it does. I would love to hear thoughts and if you've done this.

I like mixing It but you need to make sure they tumble or that they dont cover eachother

Using multiple macroalgae species is a big part of the triton method. Each macroalgae will pull out different trace and heavy metals.

First off, love your picture, so shiny! Are you running them all in the same compartment?

Thanks! Currently checking the site every couple hours to see if chaeto is back in the larger sizes.
