Added one pump of easy green after testing.

Somewhat surprised to see the Nitrate drop to 0. I guess the plants are eating it all and the fish bioload is not as high as I would have expected.

I added 10 yellow shrimp to the tank this week which I was pretty excited about it. I allegedly purchased 30% male and 70% female. So far I have observed two pregnant shrimp, so I'm hoping the eggs hatch and it all goes well. I have not observed any animosity between the shrimp and fish. A couple of the shrimp have molted and as far as I can tell none of them have died. There are a lot of hiding places in this tank though so it's hard to say.

I will hopefully be pulling out some excess pennywort and giving it to a friend this week. The monte carlo carpet continues to slowly spread so that's great. All plants that I trimmed last week are growing great so I don't think I overdid it.
