Anyone ever try to use a marine protein skimmer

It won't work.

Protein skimmers are designed to remove organic molocules
and fine particulates (cloudiness) from the water.

In comparison, a protein skimmer is designed to filter out
ants. Meanwhile, as small as it may be, duckweed is of
skyscrapper proportion.

With fresh water to take duckweed out of planted
(Duckweed infested) tank??

Can't you just spend an few minutes focused on carefully
removing all traces of these small floating plants? If your
fish net is too big a mesh, try using something like a craft
felt or a stocking.
