Ferrdrakon Evolution - The intelligent fertiliser system

Automatic - Dynamic - Every day

Every aquarium is unique, just like its nutrient requirements. Whether aquascaping or East African cichlids, community or altwater tanks, the intelligent fertiliser system Ferrdrakon Evolution automatically adapts the dosage to the entire aquarium configuration. Factors such as planting, growth rate, lighting, stocking or filtration will not play a role in the future when adding fertiliser. This means that time-consuming water tests are no longer necessary.

Use

Please add the fertiliser sticks or nets to the fertilisers listed in the Ferrdrakon Evolution fertiliser calendar at the times indicated in the Ferrdrakon Evolution fertiliser calendar. Please always select the product variant first and then download the appropriate fertiliser calendar.

6 fertiliser nets for tanks with a capacity of 500 to 1,000 litres

Fully chelated, slow-release complete iron-potassium fertiliser. Contains no nitrate and phosphate!

Fertiliser calendar

A fertiliser net is placed in the filter during the specified weeks. After the 4th or 5th addition, the nets inserted up to that point can be removed.

Scientific basis

It is a well-known phenomenon that even aquariums designed and set up in largely the same way can develop completely differently. These deviations can be observed even if the starting conditions of systems only differ in the sub-atomic range. Such structures are scientifically described and researched in chaos theory using so-called fractal functions.
Our (planted) aquariums are also such chaotic systems and follow fractal laws.
Thanks to intensive research on aquariums in recent years, we know that there are interactions between chaotic systems and the dosing of substances. These interactions can be calculated and predicted using fractal mathematics.

Consequences for the application

After analysing hundreds of series of measurements in fertilised and planted aquaria, our assumption has been confirmed. The temporal course of the concentration of aquatic plant fertilisers is neither uniform nor completely irregular, but follows seemingly chaotic fractal patterns.
Attempts to control the nutrient concentration by means of measurements and targeted fertiliser additions unfortunately do not achieve the desired result. Over time, the probability of rapid, unexpected changes in concentration increases. The individual measurement becomes increasingly less important. Instead of stabilising the concentration curve, the fertiliser concentration then tends to jump from one concentration extreme to another.

Instead, apply fertiliser at the precisely calculated times of the fertiliser calendar units of the Ferrdrakon Evolution fertiliser system into the tank at the precisely calculated times on the fertiliser calendar. This ensures that the nutrient concentrations always remain within the desired range despite all fluctuations. As the natural nutrient fluctuations have already been taken into account when calculating the addition times, the system no longer builds up as with feedback. The concentrations remain within the desired range.

It works

Ferrdrakon Evolution - The intelligent fertiliser system

I use the product in 2x 25 litre, 1x 30 litre and 1x 180 litre tanks. Application has been running for almost 3 weeks and the plants in all tanks look healthier and are growing explosively.

I previously used liquid fertiliser from Rebell, but the results were not as quick.

This system is also simpler. Put the cubes on the specified days (according to the calendar) and that's it.

If things continue like this, I'll stick with the product.
