Does anyone know of a trustworthy source for duckweed on the web?


People BUY that stuff? I consider it a pest at best a noxious weed at worst.

Duckweed is important if you are running a natural low-tech tank.

biofilter when I clean it.



Ah! So there's a name for my particular brand of aquatic neglect.
