I do let some water lettuce and water hyacinths grow in the main pond. Are they water filtering? In the summer (I start with 1 plant each in the spring) I have to start culling them, and just throw them into the compost. I tried putting them in the top pond, too, but they would move to the outlet falls, and get jammed up there, and push overboard, so that didn't really work. I could probably rig something better to fix that. Also, the racoons like to eat the water hyacinths, but the electric fence keeps them away from the main pond (but not the upper pond).
