I have chaeto and mangroves in my fuge for my 75DT. I dont think the mangroves actually do to much, but i like them more as a novelty. You will need a TON of mangroves to actually take in a decent amount of nutrients.
If you do want mangroves, make sure to plant them in substrate and have a good light over them. they do better if they have substrate for the roots to grow in, and will be healthier with a stronger light.
chaeto will grow well in a small chamber with decent flow and really any light. i used a Home depot clamp on light with a curly florescent bulb for a long time and the chaeto probably doubled in size every couple months.
