Phosphate Supplement Fertilizer - Long-term fertilizer - continual addition of phosphate

Some intensively planted and lighted pools with a moderate till low fish population need, in comparison to the majority of typical aquariums, a supplement to the basic food stuff phosphorus - P resp. phosphate - PO₄.

According to the size of the aquarium the fertilizer reserve consists of a hand-full of material, ready for application and packaged in a plastic mesh-bag. The material system (Aquafim^®) itself is non soluble and does not give-up any undesired substances into the water. Once in usage, day after day a measured amount of fertilizer is released. Through this constant steady release there is no so-called “increased step of concentration”, what has a positive effect on both plants and animals - and all that without having to purchase an expensive and sensitive electro-mechanical dosage pump.

Discharge time: 2 months
Discharge amount per mesh bag: 25 mg phosphate (absolute) per day
Active ingredient: Potassium hydrogen phosphate

The desired value ranges between 0.1 - 0.2 mg/l phosphate. More than that is seldom necessary and usually only promotes algae growth unnecessarily.

When changing the water, it is a good idea to fertilize the fresh water with Eudrakon P solution. This will compensate for the phosphate removed with the water change.

Using Eudrakon P Power is an easy and reliable way of avoiding competition between difficult and sensitive aquatic plants. Because the nutrients are almost continuously available, no plant is any longer in a position to snatch away nutrients to another’s disadvantage, i.e. consume them faster than its rivals.
