Well well well, look who’s back! .....

What this experiment has taught me is that four months is how long it takes me to stop paying attention!

And, right on time...duckweed is back in ALL my tanks. I have not been vigilant and must have brought some in from the pond on a net or my hands. I have been able to maintain a sense of humor about it so far, but I am going to have another podcast and duckweed duckweed removal day as soon as gardening/kayaking/camping season is over.

In other words: I have NOT been successful in my battle against duckweed, but I remain valiant and optimistic, lol.

My experiment to grow enough Duckweed to function as an automatic feeder is also a failure.  I am constantly reintroducing Duckweed to my large community tank.  I know that Silver Dollars will control or remove Duckweed and all of the other plants. The Angel fish are eating whatever Duckweed the SDs miss.
