Yes, a reasonable amount.

Well it definitelyy makes your tank look alot nicer and less empty, plus they help in removing nitrates.

We always do. Provides extra shelter/"toys" for the octi too. We have a large tank so use Macrocystis pyrifera a lot (Giant Kelp for you US folks) but most algaes would do. I'd hesitate to use any thing from the Desmarestia family tho' they contain sulfuric acid .....ouch!!

Had good luck with caulerpa, myself...but it does take some pruning!!!
