ah sweet annette thanks, looks like my grape looking stuff (that grows like mad let me just tell ya) is caulerpa racemosa. the stuff that grew from nowhere looks like caulerpa floridana. and the grassy stuff seems indeed to be cheato. thanks! and if anybody is in need of any, i've got tons! great link annette :)

you're welcome! I use that site a LOT to read about fish too. No wonder it's so good, it's run by Bob Goemans.
