US- I have Walstad's book. Only problem is finding the time to read it rather than using it for a quick "resource" manual. Another source is naturalaquariums.com owned and operated by the ALA's webmistress.
I have 60-70 tanks of gups and do not have a filter (other than plants) on any of them. They are much like any other set up--the heavier the fish load, the more often you need to change water. My biggest advantage with the plant filtered tanks is the disease problems I had with the filtered tanks is virtually gone.
Walstad has a section on floating plants and my memory sez your memory is pretty good. Air exchange is much improved with floaters as is ammonia uptake.
Now if I could just find a market for all that duckweed....................

is a site i haven't been to in a long time. It is better than ever. Always had it bookmarked in my older computers. I've gone to it for inspiration numerous times.

Rhonda is a remarkable person. Active in a lot of areas of life, she also does a lot of Net stuff, obviously has her fish and plants and a very full plate as a parent.
