One of my favorite plants is water lettuce, Pistia stratiotes.  A floater.
I remove half a cup of salvinia and duck weed every week from all my 
tanks.  The water lettuce has a large root system and grows at a nice 
pace. It starts little plantlets and can get rather large if you let it.
You should try it for filtering, not near as messy as duck weed.
