I have been trying to keep Syringodium and Thalassia will little success.
I have been trying to inject CO2 and just started with dry fertilizer but nothing seems to jumpstart growth. I also added in some houseplant root tabs below the sand.
Side note I added caulerpa prolifera and it hasn't grown much either.
Lighting is two 400w metal halide bulbs. Sand bed is 6" deep using a mixture of new and old sand. Tank is probably 150 gallons, on a much larger system. The system has sharks, rays, reef fish, seahorses, etc. probably in the 2000gal range. I was hoping the food that goes into the other animals would help fuel the seagrass growth...
Animals in the tank include an Argi Angelfish, Longnose Butterflyfish, various Escenius blennies (tailspot and blue and gold), a couple gambusia, ghost shrimp, alligator pipefish pair, some astrea snails, couple fighting conchs, and a couple common sea cucumbers.
Any other input would be appreciated, if you need more info let me know.
