Hi Bryan
In the TMG there is a lot of magnesium and no calcium, the hardness you are
reading from your tests comes from all the Mg you are adding weekly with
the TMG but not from calcium that should be very low expecially if you have
a lot of snails fighting for it. Your water changes could not be enough to
supply calcium to your tank try to increase or add calcium in your water
Calcium deficiency symptoms are very similar to the ones you described.

I called a few plant people from around here and they say our city water
has "plenty" of calcium and it is notoriously well buffered. None the less
maybe the thing to do is to add calcium and see if the growth returns to
normal. It doesn't hurt to try I guess.
Thanks
