KramerDrak Special Iron Fertiliser for High-Light Tanks

Special complete iron fertiliser for intensive plant tanks

These include high-light tanks and very densely planted tanks. Developed by Hans-Georg Kramer.

The aquatic plant specialist and specialist author Hans-Georg Kramer has empirically developed a fertiliser over many years that shows its qualities especially in well-planted aquariums, especially if these are also strongly lit.
The use of four different chelators in a special proportioning and an extremely wide range of trace elements including so-called "beneficial elements" helps to cultivate even the most demanding plants.

Dosing instructions

First determine the effective amount of water in your aquarium by subtracting the volume of substrate, internal filter and large decorative items. The easiest way to do this is with a metre rule or tape measure.

Then determine the lighting factor by calculating the total illuminance of your lighting in lumens and dividing it by the net volume of your aquarium.
Up to an actual water height of approx. 40 cm, you can multiply the wattage of T5 fluorescent lamps and metal halide lamps by a factor of 1.2 to take into account their higher luminance and therefore depth effect.
The calculated lighting factor only applies when using high-quality reflectors, without which only approx. 50 % of the light in the aquarium is available. The luminaire should be optimally ventilated, as the light output of the lamps decreases at higher temperatures.
LED lamps are included in the calculation with the full amount of light, as they have a highly directional light due to their principle.

  • With average lighting factors of approx. 30 lumen/l you need approx. 10 ml / week / 100 litres of water KramerDrak
  • For high light aquariums from 40 lumen/l are approx. 12 ml / week / 100 litres of water KramerDrak is recommended
  • More than 15 ml / week / 100 litres of KramerDrak water did not lead to an improvement in any case

The luminous efficacy of a fluorescent or metal vapour lamp with electronic ballast roughly corresponds to 70 - 90 lumen/watt. This means that the above figures can be converted accordingly for older lighting systems.

I think it's pointless not to give a review even a week after receiving a fertiliser (the result won't be visible that quickly), but based on many years of experience I can say: Good product!

KramerDrak special complete iron fertiliser for strong light pools

The description really didn't promise too much, so far the best fertiliser I've had. The plants are growing very well!

Roots conquer the forest

When designing this aquarium, a friend's photo of a large root forming a kind of subway served as inspiration.

Great pictures from the plant tank of A.L. from Eckenhaid near Nuremberg

The tank, which is currently almost nine months young, was switched to DRAK almost two months ago. With the fertiliser combination KramerDrak Power and KramerDrak solution as well as good lighting, regular thinning is required.

A gorgeous aquascape by Carlo Sette

A great aquascape about 5 months old by Carlo Sette in 120 × 45 × 45 cm, set up with Tropica Soil and lit 8 hours/day with a mix of Twinstar S3 and Juwel Helialux spectrum (LED - 170 W total).

Matteo Masotti's Plant Basin

A particularly beautiful plant pool in 120 × 40 cm mainly planted with the special aquatic plants from rareaquaticplants (Massimo Ianella).

Plant tank and Altum scalars

Hartwig M. from Weil der Stadt has been using Ferrdrakon and KramerDrak for several years now. The picture of the tank presented here dates from 02/2017.
