Ah yes, Duckweed is the bane of many aquarists 
I believe there was a thread from ages ago talking about how some guy tried to flush his Duckweed down the toilet (bad for the environment!) and it ended up clogging his toilet. It then backed up into his shower drain, so while he (or she) was showering, the Duckweed came back up out of the shower drain

Wouldn't cleaning chemicals kill all the duckweed?Ah yes, Duckweed is the bane of many aquarists

esp Draino?
LND: I think duckweed lives off nitrate..
Wait, you mean duckweed hasn't taken over your bathroom and room where the tank is kept? I have dry duckweed everywhere since I will do something in my tank then wipe my arm off with a towel, throw it over the chair, it dries and falls off when I pick the towel back up... I do a WC or clean the filter or wash out a net and DW gets in my sink, or shower, or toilet..Ah yes, Duckweed is the bane of many aquarists

The list is endless...
One summer I'd been doing water-changes and syphoning the water down the gutter, and my gutter clogged and duckweed was growing in it all summer...
Blah!

I've also always wondered if I could substitute ground Duckweed for wolffia in a wolffia muffin recipe I once found (would have to look for it, it was linked to by someone in the duckweed from hell thread though) If I ever went to a plant swap I would bring them and feed them to the participants then let them all know a few days later what was in them.
Muahahaha

the health food people are definitely looking into this, comparable to spirulina.
