Gray Tank "Grass?"
My brother has a small Jay Flight TT. He was telling me last night that within the last couple of camping trips he has what it looks like small pieces of grass and very small seed-like debris coming out of his gray tank. He suspects that there is something growing inside the tank. He has flushed out the tank several times, using bleach as well but the problem still persists. I read a thread on this very same issue a few months back but I could not find it.
Any information or suggestions on the solution and/or cause of this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can't say I ever heard of that one before. 
Put some Roundup in it.

I would just dump a little bleach in the tank when full, maybe set 48 hours. See what happens. Thanks

Maybe a nest of some kind (bird/rodent) in the vent stack?

That sounds reasonable.
Or maybe screen out the seeds and smoke the grass instead of eating it.
