And now you can do all the tanks! 😀
Hahaha Jason you can't get out of it... I know you can still use a comb because you have a fabulous beard 🤣😂❤️
Oh wow. Didn’t see that one coming.
🤭🤨😂
@@thesmallscape all in good fun, don't be mad at me Jason 🤣😂🙏❤️
If I could like this 100 times I would!! I love the way your mind works, Joanna. Awesome tip!!
Aww - thanks Audra! ☺️☺️☺️
Like a boss for sure 💪😁🌿
I think they really should rename the paint bucket strainer as the bucket diaper 😆
That cracked me up and then when you said the net scares the duckweed away 😂 I could just picture all the duckweed flying around everywhere like it does.. this way you can have a sneak attack and they can't alert each other to run 🤣
This is one of those things that could turn duckweed removal into something pretty satisfying 👍🌿💚 I'm sending this one to my daughter for sure!!
Thank you Joanna another great Small Scape!! I hope you are having a wonderful day!!🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
It really was super relaxing. Nothing like combing your tank. Lol. I hope you are having a nice week over there with maybe some nice weather. 😃
This is genius, belongs on Shark Tank. The net just does a messy job, this is the best way. Thank you Jo.
Aw thanks! Hope it serves you well ☺️
That is awesome. The chances of catching fry that are hiding in the roots is significantly less than it would be with a net.
I didn't know why I bought a huge novelty comb circa 1970s & over a foot long) in the opportunity shop, but now I do! This baby will chew through duckweed like a, well, like a boss.😂 Great tip, Joanna. Thankyou.
😂😂 What a score!
Excellent! I love how you are always so excited about your ‘finds’! 🤗🥰
You just revolutionized the industry! Lol Now no one has to fear duckweed!
Great tip!
Incredible Hack!! I don't even own a tank but I feel EVEN I can remove duckweed, like BOSS!!! Love this video, J!! 😁👍🏾 I may try 2....be like a ninja!! 🥷 ✌🏾
Brilliant....just brilliant.
Another awesome tip Joanna! TYFS and have a great day!
Thank you, Debbie! You too! ☺️
Very very helpful, thanks 👍
Smart! I think Foo The Flowerhorn uses a 'fro comb... keeps hands clean because there's a handle to hold onto. I often wondered about those paint strainer nets, that's another great idea!
Awesome!! I've just started dealing with duckweed overgrowing in my shrimp tank. I'm doing this tomorrow!! Thanks for sharing!!
WOW! so easy to do. Smart way of getting rid of duckweed.
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks - you too! 😃
You are my new best friend!!! The comb worked beautifully and better than anything else. Thank you!!!!
Haha! Woohoo!! 🙌 so glad to hear it!
Hi Jo! What a simple, brilliant solution! Thank you! I love duckweed & have fish that eat it, so I grow it but definitely keep it under control & I appreciate the tip- thanks!
this is such a great video! looks like it will work, i hired someone to remove all my duckweed this sunday, i'll see how well he does, i told him to watch thiis video for tips.
Love this tip!! I love duckweed but when it gets out of hand I know what to do now 🤣
Great outside of the box idea!!
I love your ingenuity! You are so great at thinking outside the box!
Thank you, Amanda! What a nice thing to say!! ☺️
You are amazing Joanna. Great idea. Who knew? Thanks for you wisdom abs sharing 😄
I'm not sure why, but that was just mesmerizing. LOL
Neat trick! I've just been using an old mcflurry spoon to dip it out into another tank where it gets eaten.
All of my duckweed went away in the winter but it looks like it's coming back now that the water is warming up. So if (when) it starts taking over again I'll have to try this.
Ugh today is my duckweed removal day and then I saw this video. These little guys grow so thick and quick! Great tip, thank you 🤓
Use a shop vac held just above the airfare of the water.
combing what an idea! I would just lower a small pitcher in the weed flows in and then i would drain it through a net. Really you 2 are too cool. For all those using your advice I say thank you
GENIUS! Not all heroes wear capes ❤
@@Rose_A 😂😃 hope it helps!
Yes, those things that arrive in the night.
Next Halloween do a quiz on what is best for eliminating it:
A. Silver bullet
B. Wooden stake
C. Holly water (RO filtered of course)
D. Crucifix
E. Jason’s comb
Enjoying the wisdom, ideas, irony, and insight,
Jim
PS: As a Father and former Scoutmaster,, I wonder, “how do boys loose combs faster than a dryer looses that matching sock? “. 🤔
This was a great hack. Ahhh duckweed...when I had it, it thinned itself out all over my hands, arms, clothes, into my coffee cup, lurking in my hair...quite the escape artist it was. Now I just have nice fluffy hornwort and pathos with their feet in the water and their leaves draping down the sides of the tank. So much friendlier.
👍💓👍
Cool idea 💡 this will save the wet/dry vacuum I've been using 😀
Great stuff! I've also found that you can use a toothbrush to attract and pick up the random stragglers if you're really on a mission for total annihilation.
🙌 nice tip!
Awesome!!! I like to use a pipe cleaning brush in exactly the same way.
I think your comb probably works better with a larger surface area 💚💚💚
Going to give this a try, thank you for sharing this!!
Good luck!!
Just stick your hand in the tank, pull it out, you'll be covered in the stuff. Do that 100 times, no duckweed! ;)
Ahaha!! I just said “that’s funny” out loud. It’s amazing how well it sticks to an arm. And for how long too 😆
🤣😂💚
Lol we had a pond with duckweed in it and a long haired dog. Guess what he did. Fell right in. What a disaster! 😆
Now that's what I call grooming your tank.
Ahaha! Literally. 😂
“….scare the duckweed.” Bahahahaha!!!
Right?! Ahaha!! 😆
I normally use my hand for the duckweed and it pushes it onto the sides and makes a mess, using a comb will make that easier. You also gave me an idea!!!! I'm gonna stick lettuce between the teeth and see if the middle swimmers pick at it. lol :) I'm loving your channel:)
Ooh - I love it! Wow. Hmmm...great idea! 👍🙌😃
Going to try that!
I only have a 5 gallon tank so I pluck it using tongs ( My duckweed grows longer roots than the norm in this tank.) This looks like a great idea for larger tanks. I know people hate duckweed but it's probably the biggest nitrate consumer for aquariums.
Tried the comb idea, works great better than a net.
Ooh nice I’ve gotta try this, my tanks are infested with duckweeds hitchhiked from the fish stores. Thank you!
I like the comb idea, as the comb might drip less than a net would when scooping out the duckweed.. it would also be easier to remove any debris and dry quicker.
Yes! It does drip less and covers more surface area. 👍👍
That’s soooo dope did not see that coming. Nice 👍
Lol - hope you find it as effective and relaxing as I do 😆
@@thesmallscape omg as relaxing as it was to watch. 🤯 gotta do tank maintenance tomorrow and duckweed is always its own maintenance love the impact on nitrates but man that plants uncontrollable
I am wondering what you do for duckweed growing between other floating plants? do I remove the floaters first than try your method for duckweed?
Perfect way to remove it! :)
So simple and amazing at same time. Thank you for this tip. Instead of combing the Desert. ( that’s from a film) I’ll be combing a tank.
Lol - sweet - Spaceballs!! 😃
You’re a genius 🥰🥰🥰
You are my new Angel 😂
Absolutely Amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for the great tip!
I don't know why people have so much trouble! If I don't want it in a tank I get it all out as soon as I see it.
I intentionally grow it for my Goldfish and Chickens. I use a plastic cup to remove duckweed from the tanks I dont want it in. If you get it as soon as you see it, no problem.
Thanks Joanna. Great tip
When I got it introduced to my tank I just used a shop vac held about 1/2" over the top of the water. It pulls all the surface water and the duck weed just goes along for the ride. It even gets the pieces that are too small for a comb.
Awesome Joanna
Now that is clever!
I do that too! Works like a charm
Awesome tip!
I use a hair pick that has tightly spaced teeth, like a fine-toothed comb. But……I throw the little buggers in the trash. I don’t have any fish to feed it to. Some of it may go down my drain. Is it bad that I do that? I don’t want to mess up the environment.
I love all of your tips! I also love seeing all of your small scapes!
Do you happen to have adhd? You're ideas are just so creative and ingenious!
And no dear readers of this comment it is not a slight. ADHD brains are kind of known to be very creative, full of ideas and imaginative.
Kendra, probably, my mind is like a perpetual game of ping pong 🏓 😌
Phenomenal and innovative
Excellent
Good Morning
Wow!!! Great trick!
Thank you for the amazing tip. 👌👍👏💗
Don’t know how, but I’ve managed to stay clear of duck weed (touch wood). Brilliant idea though, should come in handy one day 🤓
Lol, I even have duck weed on my walls
Love this idea! Di you think it would work on hair algae? 🙄 (groan lol)
I use a plastic fork.... 🤣😂 I might need to try the comb, it looks much faster! (I don't have duckweed, I have savinia, frogbit, and dwarf water lettuce)
Quick question....what about snails?? I love all my snails, and they get up in the duckweed. I don't want them to come out, and I have a hard time finding them all. Very frustrating. Any suggestions on how to get the duckweek out without the snails coming out??
A hair pick also works great.
Should you wash the comb before using it to spruce up your hairdo before a big night out?
Lol! Depends if u want a little extra..sparkle!🤭😆
Thanks for the tip.
I’ll take some duckweed for my cichlids to eat 😀
hair picks work great getting the duckweed out of tank
Oh wow, I’m going to be doing some side to sides here soon ...
Great tip! Thanks!
☺️
Brilliant! Thank you!
🌱☺️🌱
you are a genius!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
🙂 glad you like it!
You are my hero!
Lol - hope it serves you well! ☺️
Awesome!
Genius 🎉❤
Omg great tip. Now duckweed can't even run. It doesn't stand a chance. Muwahahaha!
Ahaha!! 😂
I use a lice comb to thin out the duckweed in my Spec V
I will need to try that too!
Love it!
Hi there, Matthew - thank you - so glad!
Interesting!
I’ve never had a problem netting duckweed, I think she just wanted to comb her tank lol
Netting them is not a problem. But removing them from the net is a pain. I'll be using this technique soon.
Neat trick
Then you feed it to the turtle 🙌
And you got goldfish food from recycling the duckweed. A Win win especially if you have goldfish as they love duckweed.
Circle of life eh? Win win for all!
So I have nine acres of duckweed. Do you have another way to get rid of it? No way I can do this 09 acres
Increase the flow in the top of the tank…
An afro pick would accomplish this as well but with the comfort of having a handle
Duckweed is such a hassle for what it’s worth. Frogbit is much more manageable and attractive. Nice hack though
True. Much easier to contain and appreciate!
Removing duckweed at the top of riccia is quite troublesome
Send me your duckweed! Mine doesn't spread. I think i got defective duckweed.
All I can say is WHY? It does great things for water quality! A robber goes into a store and steals a tv. A blonde runs after him and yells,wait you forgot the remote!
Now that’s funny! 😂🤣
I have no duckweed : ( I need duckweed
just use a gold fish! problem solved lol
😂
So you like doing this every weeks ????? Why not just eradicate the problem to begin with. I used a shrimp net to remove it all. After this if I would have done nothing else it would have just come back. Put a power head or a wave maker in the tank or some air stones. Duckweed hates surface water agitation. I did that with the 3 tanks that I had duckweed in the and I've been duckweed free in all 3 for 6 months. Why deal with the constant problem when you can eradicate it.
Thumbs down for all of the bald guys out there. lol
Great tip!
