Duckweed works by floating freely on the water surface, where it absorbs nitrates and other dissolved nutrients directly from the water column. This rapid nutrient uptake helps stabilize water conditions and limits unwanted algae growth. What makes Duckweed different is its extremely fast reproduction rate and minimal care requirements. It is best used in established freshwater aquariums, outdoor tubs, or breeding tanks where surface coverage, nutrient control, and natural shade are beneficial. With regular thinning, Duckweed remains an effective and natural addition to balanced aquatic systems.
