Got this 5gal tank, fish (Glofish), gravel, and ornaments/plastic plants as a gift without knowing anything about this hobby. Now that I’ve educated myself a bit more, I’ve done a conversion using fluval stratum, removing the fake plants and mushroom house, adding a 14W 6500K light, putting in Monte Carlo, Amazon sword, Anubia, and some whispering something (right corner, can’t remember what the fish store guy called it) as well as 5 cherry shrimp.
Contemplating using API liquid carbon to give the plants some CO2 especially for the Monte Carlo so it can carpet better. Any thoughts or advice?

Great improvement.
API liquid carbon is not CO2, it is primary algeacide, but it is not impossible to grow monte carlo without CO2.
