2.5g planted rcs tank

[dudey]

I have about 30 shrimp in a 2.5g planted tank with a 25w heater and an airstone going.

The tank is loaded with java moss. And by loaded I mean wall to wall with java moss! Also has some java ferns, and a couple of c. wendtii.

Do you think the plants alone are enough to keep nitrites down in the tank with weekly water changes, and shrimp only get fed a tiny amount every two to three days.

thoughts or should I just add a small sponge filter..

you think so? I had them in a 20gl, but moved them into the 2.5 once they start getting over populated and my 75g starts filling in Ill dump some into there.
