How much macro algae should go in the refugium?

My sump isn't that big. Probably < 10gal. The middle is the fuge and it's not that big. I have mud, live rock fragments, and about a sandwich bag worth of cheato.

Am I good?

It will grow so any amount will turn into a large amount

More algae the better in my book. The growth is what gives filtration so if you only have a small space pruin often so there is room to grow.
