Hmm, Bro, may I check if you are purely keep a Shrimp tank for display or you are going to breed them??

I know that from Cherry and some hardy shrimps, it's fine to breed them in a display tank, as they are rally hardy and breed readily.
But for those higher end and more ex shrimps like CRS, it will be better for you to setup a breeding tank, one that's simple with just some plants. Therefore you can solely place your attention on the shrimps.

As for CO2, I heard that many breeder are injecting a small amout of CO2 into their breeding tank to obtain a better eco-system.

My 2cents.
