You would be wise to completely get rid of the caulerpa. It will never cease to grow. Once it grows in large quantities it tends to die and release everything it has absorbed back into the water, defeating the entire purpose of having it. So, too much is too much when it becomes present in your system IMO. It will be a never ending battle.

All chaetomorpha. Once it takes off it will grow like crazy too, but you don't have to worry about it dying off and polluting your tank.

feed more to your tangs...
Prune it and give it away. Helps people out, and keeps it in check...
