wat are some seaweeds i could add to my tank im purchaseing that will look cool comeing out of the sand area in my future tank the liverock areas will just have corals and caves for the eels i m getting but wat are some cool looking seaweeds that will help my sump mangroves absorb nitrates and phosfates and are resistant to larger tangs ?
 
Cheato
Flame Algae, (Bryothamnion sp.)
Halimeda
shaving brush/maidens hair

Those are all I know of
 
Most of the algaes that suck nitrate fast, are tang foods.

Everyone is big on cheato and it would work, but I think there are things that do a better job.

Tangs will love the natural food, and if you feed enough nori they will just keep it trimmed. Trust me, I have done this before with many tangs. Just stay on top of feedings.
