the chaetomorpha algae will consume a few things for your aquarium and ultimately reduce your nitrates as well as your phosphates.. it also gives mysis shrimp a place to breed (happens quite often).. if you have a refugium, it is a GREAT idea to use chaetomorpha because it WILL NOT attach itself to your rocks or anything else and is easily trimmed and removed.. you can even sell or give away the extra that you trim off

We have a hangon skimmer in our 55g and no sump. Until I get one, I have cheato in the bubble trap in our skimmer and so far it's done good. We do have an extra filter in our setup and that's a fluidized sand bed filter.
