This is my favorite duckweed page, quite comprehensive:

Excellent!

Finally, whatever it is -- Duckweed or not! -- requires nutrients to
grow. That it's growing so heavily implies nutrient-laden water

I don't know about that, I use it in my containers holding plants only to
keep the algae from growing, no fish in the containers. Seems water and
sunlight is about all it needs to flourish.

I would think a skimmer would help a lot. One might have to manually skim
it off, but a mechanical skimmer would (hopefully) get the remaining ones.
