Caribbean "Biotope" within a nano

Hello all,

 

I am quite interested in Biotopes, particularly a Caribbean one. Unfortunately, I have a limited space and years for me to keep more than a 10 gallon tank which I want to fill with sps. So, I decided to have a small area within my nano dedicated to a few Caribbean species. 

 

I have three turtle grasses plantings, a piece of zoanthids and a what I think is a hitchhiker nassarious snail all from Florida. I got all of them from Marathon Aquatics in their Harrisburg location. Great guys!

 

Here are some pictures of the "glass pot" as I call it.

As you can see, they are in the back of the tank where I can hide most of the glass from the front view and where they can get some good direct flow from the wavemaker and plenty of light. The sea grass lost a big part of their leaves, probably due to transportation, but the root ball it is still quite healthy. I hope they are starting to grow soon. I have never grown sea grass so this will be an experiment for me.

 

If you have any experience with growing sea grass and/or have some sources with information on their care, please feel free to post them.
