Long-term nitrate fertiliser - continuous addition of nitrate
In contrast to the majority of other aquaria, some heavily planted and illuminated tanks with moderate to low fish populations require supplementation with the basic nutrient nitrogen - N or nitrate - NO3.
With Eudrakon N Power you do not have to handle liquids on a daily basis, but can conveniently let the cubes in the mesh bag do the work. The fertiliser supply consists of no more than half a handful of material, shrink-wrapped in a plastic net ready for use. The material system Aquafim® itself is insoluble and does not release any undesirable substances into the water. Once in use, controlled quantities of fertiliser are released from the material day after day. The constant release means that there are no so-called "concentration surges", which has a positive effect on plants and animals - and without the need to purchase an expensive and vulnerable electromechanical dosing pump.
This means that competition between different, difficult and sensitive aquatic plants can be reliably ruled out. Because the nutrients are available practically without interruption, no plant is able to take nutrients away from another to its detriment, i.e. to use them up faster than the competition.
- Release time 2 months
- Release quantity per net bag: 100 mg nitrate (absolute) / day
- In addition 12.7 mg magnesium and 22.1 mg potassium released
- Active ingredients: Potassium nitrate, magnesium nitrate
The desired nitrate concentration is in the range of 8 to 15 mg/l. More is rarely necessary and usually only promotes algae growth unnecessarily.
When changing the water, it is also advisable to dilute the amount of water changed with the Eudrakon N solution as recommended. This serves to compensate for the nitrate removed with the changed water.
Rinse briefly with running water before first use.

Works but is quite expensive
I always had practically ZERO NO3. I have tanks that run very well with it, especially my 55 & 30 litre small aquariums. I always have ZERO nitrate when measuring there, yet it grows and thrives, almost without algae. But my 350 is a diva. Things are not running 100% smoothly there. Some of the plants are weakening, in the upper area there are now and then some smear algae and also zero nitrate. The roots of the frog-bit and floating rice are algae. Tap water has a nitrate content of around 10, I then fertilised the entire water with Eudrakon N to approx. 15-20mg NO3 and put 2 bags of the Eudrakon N Power 100 in the filter. Since then I have had a stable 10-15mg nitrate in the tank.
It is quite expensive, yes, one star deduction for that. The second option would be to use the dosing pump (single-channel dosing pump SD-01M) with Eudrakon N.
