@Jayden Recktenwalt I actually have the duckweed in my 10g tank. And because I don’t have an airstone there I don’t let the duckweed cover more than 2/3 of the surface so that there can be oxygen exchange still. But I have a lot of fish in each tank that’s why I watch it carefully. Also, I thought duckweed gave oxygen because I assumed all plants consume CO2 and exhale O2
How much duckweed does it take on a per fish per day sort of basis or some other measure that would tell us how much surface area we need to be using to feed the tilapia or whatever with just duckweed? Thanks.
Arianna Marmolejos Nails are for construction, so I don't know why you would do that... also, duckweed is a freshwater plant so I don't think sea creatures belong in freshwater.
By introducing air into the water, he also introduces CO2 and other gases. You need Oxygen for the bacteria that break down nutrients into usable Nitrite/Nitrate which helps duckweed grow. If you don't do this, it will choke the water surface which essentially means the bacteria below will die off and the Duckweed follows before the cycle repeats. Which is not ideal if your aim is to harvest the duckweed. You want a healthy plant that can be processed into food for other fish or shrimp. Edit; If you ever seen Mass Death of fish stories where a large quantity of fish die for no particular reason. That is due the oxygen in the water vanishing. The bacteria is the culprit for all the oxygen vanishing since they use large amounts to decompose organic matter.
Good tip on the bubbles thing! I didn’t know how to tell if a tank was getting enough oxygen.
@Jayden Recktenwalt I already have a bubble wall on my 55g but thank you.

My duckweed looks and grows great with zero aeration but the water doesn't get too warm. The cooler the water the more oxygen it can hold.
Any video showing the water rotation system?
Mine in my outdoor pond grows so fast it's crazy ! Scoop a load out one day it's back in a couple of days
You should do a duck weed give away😁
awesome video... thank you for sharing. hope you continue to make videos like this..cheers!
i like the bottle trick. how far into the water does it go?
where can i buy a pound of duckweed at
I found that air killed my duckweed.
I move aquaponics water through the tank, but no air added.
Where can I buy some?
Explain the siphon, and where it goes...?
CHEERS
Researchers have discovered duckweed grows fastest with a slow horizontal "sweeper" bar on the top of the pool
As in breaking the surface with little streams in multiple places?
what makes u think the duckweed(absorb co2 from the air) needs a water pump and bubbles?
It doesn't harm them tho.
thanks, you told me what I wanted to know
How much electricity does the aerator draw? Do you power it via solar or other alt energy?
I need this plant pls for my research
Can the compost tea be used in aquaponics system as a source of nutrition for plants? .... Will it harm the fish?
Depends on the tea i guess. Probably won't hurt the fish. Unless you dump a whole can into it.
Does duckweed improve water quality?
Probably. It eats nitratea and phosphates. So yeah, unless you want that it becomes cleaner.
What is duck weed for?
Human food fish food chicken food

I guess they like alot of it. The more the better. They can also hide under it.
I'm growing duck weed in school there's also nails and other sea creatures

Cardea i think she meant snails.
why do you let always water in the bottle? Duckweed does not need o2 i did not understand that :/

For nutrients could you use grey water and urine ?
sure!
Ty
nice
can you smoke it
vladimir putin - Humans cant, but ducks can
vladimir putin lmao lol so funny no u can't is a duck weed so I think it's made out of ducks😂😂?
I'm growing duck weed in school there's also nails and other sea. creatures
