Plants will absorb nitrates.Can try eheim second hand around $50 for empty and $70-80 for one with media.

you don't need a bag as they are big enough to stay inside. What's your budget? and your tank size?
How much current is there?Got co2/ferts?Can always try floaters but they grow too quickly for me.
Budget 50 odd.
Tank size about 8 liters.

How to measure current? On the surface, it's about the strength of a wash basin tap at 1/3 open.
I have some duck weeds though. It went from about 6 to now I dunno how to count. Haha

Duckweed is blocking out light perhaps.Current seems ok.Generally measured by flow rate of filter but is variable.Lighting?And 5 gallons or 20 litres should be min for shrimp as theyre more sensitive than fish in general.
The duck weeds are only covering about 1/15th of the surface and being pushed around by the current, so light is getting through. Lighting using a LED light, white and blue lights, only got the product model X5.
As for tank size, I only am allowed that 1 foot space.. sigh..
Attached a photo. On picture the green looks nice, but in actual, it's more brown and pale green.
