Stick with things like the bottlebrush and some of the more fancy macro's that dont grow as fast and prolific and you'll be alright. Chaeto belongs in refugiums and culture systems IMHO and caulerpa as much as I like it definately is NOT for those who want low maintenance... it is a high maintenance algae for sure!.
sargassum and sea grass ime need a lot more light than what you have.

is this going to be a reef?

how deep is your substrate?

when you vacuumed your gravel you may have made the nitrates higher by killing off the anaerobic bacteria at the bottom.
