Keep an eye out every day for pieces of the weed. One day you'll realise you haven't seen any for a while. Then it's a case of making sure the tank is not re-infested every time you buy a plant, fish, snail, whatever.
I'm definitely seeing some still in there. I didn't think I was going to be lucky enough to get it all on the first try.I hate to point this out but........

This is where a pair of tweezers come in handy to remove the offending plants before they can multiply
It would survive.
My fish need access to the surface. That's my main concern. I don't want it to overrun the tank so that they can't get surface air. My plant corrals work on the salvinia minima, mostly. The duckweed laughs at my plant corrals.Me personally, I dont think I'd mind having duckweed...
Have you tried using a wider tubing for the corrals? So the duckweed would have to climb a bit higher to invade?My fish need access to the surface. That's my main concern.

I have feeder rings that are four tubes bound together and the duckweed still finds a way.Have you tried using a wider tubing for the corrals? So the duckweed would have to climb a bit higher to invade?
I don't know what you mean, but this is what I mean...I have feeder rings that are four tubes bound together and the duckweed still finds a way.
I used to keep duckweed and tried to hold it by some THICK tubes. It never worked. No matter how big the guards.I don't know what you mean, but this is what I mean...View attachment 316791I wonder if you could melt the ends together to make a ring or am I being stupid?
Considering that duckweed can work its way into a completely separate tank, I don't have faith in feeder rings or plant corrals keeping it under control.I used to keep duckweed and tried to hold it by some THICK tubes. It never worked. No matter how big the guards.
duckweed can look good in a tank, but it does need to be scooped out almost daily in my experience.
