Default How to grow Green algae?

I know this may sound insane to some but I want to grow green algae!

I want to set up a 10 gallon (cheapo) tank to grow green algae in, for my soon to be Lawnmower blenny and tang(s). I would like to have 2 good size pieces of LR what I can switch between my algea tank and display tank so the Lawnmower and Tangs are well feed and happy.

Any suggestions on this?

Does anyone do this?

What will I need?

How to grow the algae?

I think it is both an admirable and workable plan.All you need is 5700k flourescent bulbs and reflectors from lowes and some aquarium furtilizer containing nitrates and phosphates used for heavily planted fresh water aquariums.You may need 3 rocks.
