    Mike something else I thought of later last night. Is this new sand or old sand?

    If this is new sand you're probably going to have a tough time getting them to take. Seagrass is a true plant unlike caulerpa. It actually draws most of it's nutrients from the roots and not out of the water column. To do well you typically need to have an established sand bed.

    Chad it is old sand There is a lot of stuff in there for it to use. I am dosing Iron daily and now that there are fish in the main tank to poop the refugium should get fed. I have a couple conchs and other snails in the refugium as well. I might add some cardinals to help with nutrients for the turtle grasses.
