Thanks McPuff! The plants have been doing well.

I'm just now hitting a point where I can see growth stalling a bit. So now I'm adjusting the dosing. I'm also trying to make sure no vital nutrients are missing, or limiting growth. When you start driving plants harder, with plentiful light and nutrients, you run the risk of using up some of the trace elements. Water changes and fish food should replenish most, but I don't do many water changes and I don't have many fish just yet, so I think there may be something in short supply, and limiting growth.

Competition could also be a factor. Ulva is a great plant for sucking up excess nutrients and competing with micro algae. Now that I'm out of the woods with micro algae, it is competing with my desirable plants. So I'm going to keep the Ulva trimmed back more, to see if that helps. I ran into the same issue in v1, with Caulerpa racemosa.
