Yes, I am talking about blanket weed (long strands like hair) rather than
duckweed (small leaves that multiply like mad). Our koi love duckweed too.

We get blanket weed in the veggie filters. In the main pond, it gets eaten.
It is amazing to see the koi go up on the pots for a bite.

Our koi view it as a treat. They slide half out of the water onto
plants
to
gobble it up. Get koi!

Jim are you talking duck weed? because blanket weed is hair like strands
of algae, and thus far ive not found anything but chemicals to take it
out..
(apart from the twisted stick routine)

pulled over 3 lb's out of my pond in last week (after sitting in lawn for
30
mins to drain off some of the water) its nasty stuff... even grass carp
don't touch it...

my fish love a treat of duckweed, but nothing seems to touch blanket weed
(not even a UV)

HTH
