With Fulvodrakon you have the opportunity to add important humic and fulvic acids to the aquarium water and thus create near-natural and species-appropriate conditions for the aquarium inhabitants. Humic substances are found in varying quantities in practically all natural living waters*. Particularly well known are black water-habitats are particularly well known for their extraordinarily high concentrations of humic substances (humic substances are responsible for their tea-like colouring), but they are also found in abundance in other types of water. However, our waterworks remove these substances almost completely from the tap water supplied because of their colouring and flavouring properties.
However, no aquarium should be without humic substances. Their positive properties on aquatic life, the increase in vitality, colourfulness and well-being have now been scientifically proven many times over. So if they are missing in the original water, we should definitely add them.
Effect
Humic and fulvic acids contribute to species-appropriate husbandry. As they are present in almost every environment in nature, aquatic organisms are adapted to them and even low concentrations, which are barely visible in the water, have positive effects. In experiments with daphnia, it has been proven that the reproduction rate and mobility can be increased as an indicator of well-being.
An increasing number of recent studies on humic substances have shown an extraordinary range of positive effects on living organisms. They are based, for example, on the deactivation of toxins as insoluble complexes or on the fact that cell membranes and mucous membranes are blocked for harmful substances by fulvic and humic acids. In this way, vitality, colourfulness and well-being can be increased, reproduction stimulated, the survival rate of offspring improved and healthy growth achieved in general.
In addition to these indirect effects, more and more direct positive effects on organisms are also being discovered. These include the strengthening of the immune system and direct antiviral properties. In the aquarium, microbiology is improved because pathogenic pathogens, bacteria, viruses and fungi are inhibited.
In addition, humic substances are still weak buffers and stabilise the pH even at low carbonate hardness.
Prof. Dr Christian Steinberg (Chair of Aquatic Ecology at the Humboldt University of Berlin), a profound expert on this subject, considers them indispensable in aquaristics anyway. While in classical ecology it was still assumed that humic substances only had an indirect influence on animals, their direct effect on organisms and their almost vital character have now been proven.

Dosage
For ongoing maintenance weekly after changing the water
- 3 - 7 ml per 100 litres of water
For blackwater tanks, in the quarantine of new arrivals and to support disease treatment weekly
- 10 - 20 ml per 100 litres of water
Composition
The natural raw material for Fulvodrakon is carefully extracted from a groundwater source. This results in good suitability for aquaristics and aquaculture as well as significantly better bioavailability than chemically extracted fulvic acids.
Crude ash: 14 %, humic acid: 2 %, fulvic acid: 17.5 %, sodium: 37,500 mg/kg
After adding 1 ml of fulvodracon to 10 litres of water, it therefore contains 17.5 mg/l of fulvic acid and 2 mg/l of humic acid

For any fan of South American—
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids | VOLUME: 100 ml
For any fan of South American- or Asian-style aquascapes – highly recommended!
Anyone who loves the natural ambience of a blackwater stream or an Amazonian biotope will be in their element here. Anyone keeping such fish should definitely treat their pets to these valuable humic substances!

Indispensable from my point of view
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids | VOLUME: 1,000 ml
I have been using this product for about 4 years as a continuous supplement via a Süchting Dosator. Since switching to Drak products about 2 years ago, my fish already seemed livelier and I could already observe a further improvement with the initial use of Fulvokrakon. Now, with a little more distance, I can see that the life expectancy of the animals has also increased. Contrary to the standard recommendation of a weekly dosage, which in my case caused the water to darken too much in my opinion until it broke down, I switched to the above-mentioned continuous dosage after consulting Dr Kremser at the time.

Recommendation!
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids
Very good article, visible well-being for shrimps and ZBB. Nice "colouring" of the water for South American tanks. Very economical!

If Humine, then from DR. Andreas Kremser
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids
The only humic preparation I have a good feeling about. Whether it is Humin DSO, Liquid humin +, etc. The exact content is not declared anywhere. I am now sticking with Fulvodrakon and will soon be buying larger quantities for my 840 litres.

THE discovery for me
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids
THE discovery for me, my disc tetras are much more agile, more beautifully coloured. One of the guys had a bloated belly and bulging eyes, I had the worst fears. After regularly adding Fulvodrakon, the condition improved within a week and now the fish is indistinguishable from its swarm mates. For me, it is now indispensable at every water change!

Tested, found to be very good
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids
Of course you can also collect and use alder cones. Or some people use special tea.
With the Fulvodrakon, however, you can achieve the desired colouring in a very targeted way using the quantity.
I can confirm that the fish somehow make a more vital impression.
Maybe it's just my imagination and it might have happened the same way without it.
But my Microctenopoma fasciolatum have definitely become even braver, they were never that shy.
And the Alestopetersius smykalai are definitely more likely to be seen outside feeding time.
Here they are used weekly, 20ml in the 350 and 10ml in the 190.

Great product
Fulvodracon - concentrated fulvic and humic acids
We have been using Fluvodrakon in our community tank for 3 weeks now and are very satisfied. Depending on the dosage, the water takes on a slightly brownish or tea-coloured hue. However, it remains absolutely clear!
The colouring makes the colours of the fish and plants really stand out and our gourami have become a little "bolder". After approx. 1 week, the colouration has almost completely disappeared and you therefore also have an indicator for the next partial water change.
