You might add another hagen CO2 set up on there but the long term
should consider a gas CO2 cylinder set up/splice the line and add a
DIY yeast brew bottle on the reactor and also direct the filter flow
past the reactor as well.

You'll be glad you did.

There's a Windy city aquatic plant club I recall.
Get in with them if you want weeds and a better run down of keeping
plants, your abilities will get much better faster. It's perhaps the
fastest route to tank improvement and understanding others have had a
similar experience.
