Default Duckweed control

Hi Galen,

Your duckweed is a treat for my koi and goldfish. They, however, are
not natural to your pond!

Our berm ponds have lots of duckweed. The main pond is clear of it.
I toss duckweed in it frequently as a koi treat.

I wish my Koi would eat duckweed. About once a week I have to go through
with a net to try and remove it. I'm gonna kill who ever sold me a plant
with the duck weed in it. It forever plugs my first (net) filter.
