Tank Update

I haven't done this in a while, and actually got a few requests on APC, so I'll add it here and for the plant club.
Let me start by saying the tank is doing well overall. As you can see it grows like crazy. I trim when it plants to the top because the house is so dry in the winter that my Aerial shoots die. But the duckweed aren't growing fast, a first for me, so I figure the water can't be over rich. pH has never dropped again, just that one time. it went back up and stayed up even though I test at the same time in the morning. Maybe a dead snail I didn't see or something. ? I didn't clean up for the pictures. Didn't even use the magnet to clean the glass. I was thinking about whether or not I'll be taking out the Vals because they aren't doing well. I thought I'd replace them with some more of the Sprite in that corner. I'm going to give them some time to see if they perk up from the Potassium I just added. I had noticed small holes in many of the plants leaves this week. Yesterday I threw in about 1/2 tsp of "No Salt" dissolved in water which I then de-chlorinated. They were looking rough before this so I don't know. I'm thinking they are loosing to all the Hygros in the tank, just failure to thrive in the plant chemical warfare. I'm sure it's because our plant club leader said he'd had a hard time with them, and I blythly responded, "Oh they've done great in both my little tanks." Well now I just have the one bigger tank and they are grossly outnumbered. I jinxed myself I trim them and they don't come back, they just get worse. The Amazon Sword is doing well. It lost the original leaves, you can kinda see the last of these turning translucent in the back. I haven't trimmed it off yet because the baby Ancistrus seems interested in it. I also saw a single molly fry in the plants. Just one. And I couldn't find it again when it swam away. I was hoping not to have a population boom with the Rainbows in there, and they must have done the job. If there's only one though, I'll wait a bit to do the big trim and water change, give him a chance. I've changed water about four times, about 25-30% each time. I put salt in when I first added the mollies, but haven't replaced it with water changes. And it was very little, like 2 tsp total. The plants didn't seem to notice. I don't see the MTS much, but I wouldn't have thought it was enough to bother them. I know for sure that the Red Cherry Shrimp eat the snail eggs, because I've seen them more than once. So MTS probably aren't growing as a colony, but with the shrimp and 2 sucker mouthed cats that's ok. The shrimp have a good colony and the fish seem happy. I really enjoy my tank.
