Phosphate supplementary fertiliser
In contrast to the majority of other aquariums, some heavily planted and illuminated tanks with moderate to low fish populations require a supplement with the basic nutrient phosphorus - P or phosphate - PO.4.
Composition
Contains potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4)
Dosage
1 ml added to 50 litres of aquarium water increases the phosphate content by 0.1 mg/l
The target value is in the range of 0.1 - 0.2 mg/l phosphate. More is rarely necessary and usually only promotes algae growth unnecessarily.
(At the same time, the salt used reduces the potassium content by a slight 0.04 mg/l increased)
Phosphate can also be added as a top dressing. To ~ 0.25 mg/l and only top up again when the level has been at zero for a while.
Aquatic plants are good at storing phosphate, and this method can be used to make life difficult for algae, which are not so good at storing phosphate due to their small size.
If the measured PO4-concentration in the aquarium water before using Eudrakon P has not been detectable for a long time, it is often the case that the first 7 - 14 days of use show a greatly increased consumption. This is normal and is due to the fact that, on the one hand, all plants replenish their depleted phosphate stores and, on the other hand, phosphate is fixed by adsorption on iron hydroxide precipitates in the filter and substrate.
Caution
Adsorber materials that are offered for silicic acid binding (SiO₂) always bind phosphate to a greater or lesser extent!
So if you want to permanently increase the phosphate content of your aquarium water, you have no choice but to remove such silicate adsorbers from the water cycle.

I fertilise the recommended amount daily.
Eudrakon P phosphate fertiliser
I fertilise the recommended amount of Eudrakon P, N and Ferrdrakon K every day and the plants thank me with healthy growth! I have also tested other well-known manufacturers and am now sticking with DRAK!

Eudrakon P phosphate fertiliser
Here, as well as generally for the other fertilisers from DRAK:
Exemplary declaration of the product, which is by no means usual in this industry.
Always excellent and friendly contact, always an open, patient ear and expert advice.
Smooth, speedy processing and fast despatch.
We have had nothing but good experiences with Eudrakon P in all tanks with a focus on plants and low phosphate levels due to low stocking levels, food input and/or initial phosphate in the tap water.
The price/performance ratio of Eudrakon P (i.e. dosing quantity/concentration) does not need to shy away from comparison with other products on the market. As this product is also reasonably labelled, as already mentioned, the choice is easy.
