An update after a long while. No pics, though. Anyway, the tank has been on cruise control and the grasses have slowed their growth. However, there is now quite a bit of algae and detritus, the former of which is likely due to a nitrogen deficiency (which could also explain the grass slowing). Certain grasses look better, while others look worse. For example, my Halophila, for lack of a better way to describe it, is on the decline, while my Halodule is growing extremely well. Aiptasia has also become a gigantic issue, as they spread ever further. So, the tank is just a giant sink of overgrowth in terms of everything--grasses, algae, detritus, and Aiptasia. The latter has resulted in an utter loss of planktonic organisms, which is devastating, since I had so much for so long.
So, to the next plan. I am very, very much considering starting anew. Same tank, new sand (relatively speaking), fresh mud (both organic and inorganic), and new, scoured/quarantined rock. It will be in an observation tank for a few weeks to make darn sure no Aiptasia are available. I will select a few clean blades of grasses to make sure that there are none on them, as well. As for the corals with the Aiptasia, I may decide to get rid of them... Haven't decided on that part, yet.
