Right now I am feeding sheets of dried red algae in my tank. Should I be mixing it up with green algae for nutritional reasons or am I fine only using the red?

This is in addition to a daily feed of pellets from an auto feeder and LRS fish frenzy.

Each algae carries different nutrient aspects. Think of a diverse refugium.
I am not a herbivore keeper so these different nutrients may not apply to fish.
