    good morning Eric !
    I have a couple feeder goldfish that I move from tank to tank as needed to keep the duckweed down to manageable amounts.
    it also is really good in compost , very high in nitrogen.

      Hey Tony! It certainly does have great properties. It unfortunately has one really annoying one. I just can't get rid of it

    Hi grate vid I'm happy that you have managed to free up some of your time to keep sharing. Could you please make a video all about RO water filters you recommend using one sometime ago. I've resisted going down that route more in favour of collecting rain water or filling drums at local springs. What I've found out is worrying because of the extensive Cole mining here even spring water isn't safe. I've been looking at RO filters but I'm confused.

      Hey Colin! It's been some time since I've used RO as our water here is fine for most fish. I'm not sure what brands would be available to you. The only recommendation I would make would be to use a stand alone model with a fine prefilter, carbon filter and an ion exchange reson before it goes to the membrane. This style works best and you can use it to fill a barrel. The systems used for a whole house are expensive and you go through cartridges quite quickly. Hope that helps

    Good luck with your war on duckweed! I recently started to dehydrate it
    and am going to incorporate it into snello when I make it 😁 I don't keep goldfish anymore, but when I did, they ate most of it.

      It does have it's uses if it weren't such a nuisance when gets out of control.

    Good luck ! , i had a shrimp tank with lots of plants ,frogwort floating on the top . It was a real problem getting out duckweed and making sure i wasn't taking shrimp with it . I actually made a conserted effort to eradicate it and althoug i went 2 months without seeing any it came back . i broke it down completely when i had lots of plumbing work done that got rid of it !

      My experiences are the same. I get it to a point where I think it's gone and I relax then, boom, it's back

    Thanks for the video! How do you feel about Anacharis? I have not seen any in your tanks. Did I overlook it? I prefer it to hornwort because hornwort seems to shed a lot of needles for me although hornwort grows faster.

    • @FishmanEricRussell
      @FishmanEricRussell  4 місяці тому +1

      I like anacharis. The problem here is that it was banned for a long time as they thought it was invasive. I've seen it offered from time to time in recent years. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for the thought and for watching!

    It's pretty cool to see so many functioning tanks and pipes ect, probably built by the man himself. A lot to learn here!

    I’ve used dried duckweed as shrimp food but you’re right, times too short to deal with it. Good luck in your ‘war on weed’
