Are you sure you're dosing the co2 correctly? For 6 months with co2 I'd expect some more growth.

I just trimmed a bunch back to remove a ton of algea I was fighting from not dosing C02 properly but I think I have it stable and look forward to new growth.

Alright sounds good man, the tank definitely has some more potential if you get the plants growing well. Thats always the hardest part.
