Maybe try some of the "proper pH" that everyone says not to use.
Find one for a pH of 6.5 or 7.0 (whatever is closer to your actual pH). I
wouldn't doubt that a little pinch would cause much of a pH shift. Just a
thought, I haven't tried it myself.

Goldfish love the duckweed, I would give my extra (cups and cups
full) to a friend with a 2" fancy goldfish. All of the duckweed would be
gone in a few hours.
