My main tank is 4ft x 2ft x 2.5ft. 150gallon, 560lliter

I have created DSB from 4½" slope to 8" with grade 0 and 1 sand just 2 weeks ago. So will not mature until 9 mths.

I have also setup a small tank 17" x 13" x 14.5" sharing water with sump flow out from the skimmer.

Purpose of tank is to reduce NO3 for the time being by keeping macroalgae.

How much macroalgea is needed in this small tank in order to be effective?

What lighting is suitable for such macroalgae?

I have seen one in HongLeong, it's a 2ft x 2ft x 1½ft high with 6" sand and full of macroalgae using T5 light.

Tank 4x2x2.5
