the light is a pc flood light rated at 15000k. i think it may be time to change it. i have to check the nitrates tonight.
If your nitrates are low there is nothing wrong. On the other hand if your nitrates are high you may have a problem maybe with flow.

well it eats bad things. so if your tank is free of bad things then it wont grow.
also, i believe chaeto grows in the dark, so if your running your lights 24/7 it wont grow much.

Like the diver dude said, plants grow based on how much nitrate/other nutrients are in the tank, so less nitrates very roughly equals less growth.
