Welcome redlobstor! That should work. You could go as shallow as seven inches on the sandbed, to give you a little more room above. When I had turtle grass, most of it was in the twelve inch range.

I'm stoked to hear you're doing seagrass. Consider starting with shoal grass, as it is a pioneering plant that helps prepare the substrate for turtle grass, which is a climax species. It worked just that way in my tank, with the turtle grass gradually taking over.
