It looks like a fast growing Caulerpa, maybe C. Prolifera. It is not a plant, but a macro algae. True marine plants absorb nutrients thru their roots. Macro algae absorb nutrients thru the surface on their foliage. All macro absorb calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphate, sulphur and iron. When green macro slows its growth rate and begins to show yellow, consider iron deficiency and dose with iron. The acivated carbon should not effect the grow rate of macro.
