AHA - The Duckweed Light Came On!

AHA! I didn’t know that! A few weeks ago my Whisper HOB on my 29 gallon died after a series of my power going out for a few minutes each time. I added a large Penguin HOB with Biowheel to it. I was worried about the increased surface agitation but noticed on my last PWC that my duckweed is disappearing at an alarming rate. I couldn’t figure out why but now I know!!
We also added some of my excess duckweed to the outdoor pond and assumed that the goldfish were eating it (though they didn’t last year) because it was disappearing. But Rick added a larger filter to the pond so I am guessing the surface agitation thing is the answer.
Looks like I need to add more surface agitation to my 10 gallon Betta/WCM tank because the duckweed has taken over that tank!
Thanks!
