Eudrakon N / Eudrakon P

Supplementary Fertilizer with Nitrogen (N) resp. Phosphate (P)

Area of Application

Some intensively planted and lighted pools (also “Holland pools”, “Flower borders” etc) with a moderate till low fish population need, in comparison to the majority of typical aquariums, a supplement to the basic food stuff nitrogen - N (Eudrakon N), phosphorus - P (Eudrakon P) and potassium - K (Ferrdrakon K) for plants.

In stronger inhabited pools the fish excrement as well as the added fish food provide for bacterial mineralization and supply of life dependent food stuffs.

A clear indication for the need to add to these food stuffs, begins slowly, because many plants have a large storage capacity of nitrates, potassium, and phosphates. Typical is however small growths, violet colouration due to the building of Anthocyan, yellow coloration through a nitrogen deficit chlorosis and a general growth slow-down up culminating in a complete growth-stop. Added to this comes a creeping incipient algae growth, that is at first totally inexplicable, because the water values appear to be completely in order.

Appearance of Nutrient Deficit in Water Plants

It is worth mentioning, that the elimination of a growth deficit through the inevitable increase in bio-mass production often leads to an increased need for other food stuffs. At the end of the day by a balanced food- stuff supply the amount of light provided, should have the largest effect on growth limitation.
