Terrdrakon NPK Balls aquamax

Long-term fertiliser balls for all aquatic plants

For specific refertilisation of an equipped aquarium

• With valuable, air-dried clay from Sri Lanka
• Filled with high-quality NPK fertiliser (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium)
• Contains numerous minerals, especially iron
• Ideal for all aquatic plants requiring nutrients
• Every single ball is carefully made by hand

Clay balls have been used as fertilisers since the pioneering days of fish keeping, but since then seem to have been somewhat forgotten.

The plants drive their roots into the clay balls and thus obtain the necessary nutrients directly from the Terrdrakon NPK fertiliser balls. The water-resistant clay prevents the fertiliser from being released immediately to the environment and to the aquarium water. Nitrates and phosphates in particular thus remain where they belong: in the plants!

Application

Depending on the size of the plant, press 1 - 3 Terrdrakon NPK balls into the substrate next to or underneath the plant to be fertilised. The aquarium plants push their roots through the balls very quickly. The balls can be evenly distributed in the substrate even when the aquarium is re-equipped. Please do not use more than 3-4 balls per 100 l of water for this.

Refertilisation is necessary every 3 to 6 months depending on the growth rate and quantity of the plants.

Please insert the balls into the substrate immediately. They are not intended to lie in the water for long periods, as otherwise they soften up, dissolve and can then no longer be inserted in the substrate. Removal of the remnants of the balls is then very time-consuming.

Composition

Clay is a natural product and essentially consists of swellable (alumino-)silicate layers (chemical formulae in varying amounts: SiO₂, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃) with ion exchange possibilities.

250 mg NPK fertiliser per ball: 14 % N (5.5 % N nitrate nitrogen; 8.5 % N ammonium nitrogen); 7 % P₂O₅ neutral-ammonium-citrate-soluble and water-soluble phosphate; 17 % K₂O water-soluble potassium oxide; 2 % MgO magnesium oxide; 0.02 % B boron; 0.01 % Zn zinc.
