Donna,
If you have room to set up another tank/tub it is easy to grow as you know. I had a tank/tub(kiddy pool) outside where I would dump my water change water. The nutrients and high light levels made duck weed a food used 2-3 times a week. So I set up a 55 gallon tank for this job indoors in my livingroom floor(single guy who does not care what things look like). A 4 foot shoplight sits on a 55 so no hood/lid needed. I put 2 shoplights holding 2 bulbs each on top of the tank. Your goldies nasty water would grow enough to give him his treats. Mbuna cichlids need veggies in their diet and I was breeding many of these species so need alot of it.
Flagfish are not big plant eaters but love algea. That is why they are a must for planted tanks. They will eat the algea off the plant leaves and not harm the plants. Ofcourse if the get real hungry they will start eating the roots off your duckweed.
Later, John

Hi John,
Great to see you again. I love the java moss tip!! If I ever get my hands on
any again I will do this for sure.
I have a heck of a time keeping duck weed alive in 2 out of three of my tanks.
Glub Blub (goldfish) eats it of course at the speed of light, the angels will
also eat it if I put it in their tank. Its doing great in my 37 though not out
of control like I'd like it to be. I would have thought that the female flag
fish might go for it but they don't.
The 37 just started in with hair algae grrrrrr
