Yeah, I found that I could put Ulva right at the top of tank, right under my 400 watt metal halide, and if there were adequate nutrients, it would grow like crazy.

The grasses are still good, even with the coatings. They just break off where they're dead. I'll prune them down at some point. I don't think I've ever had so much of it reach the surface. But the fish do seem to appreciate the pruning. It allows them more swimming space and to more easily access the sand.
