Description of the nature of the root
Denna Tuskwood-rot (P072620) har en distinkt böjd form, liknande ett C eller en krok. Den är slät på större delen av ytan med en tjockare, mer strukturerad ände och en avsmalnande spets.
Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
Dess form gör den lämplig som en central del i ett mindre akvarium eller som en accent i ett större. Den böjda formen kan skapa en naturlig grotta eller ett skydd under. Fäst växter som Anubias, Bucephalandra eller Javaormbunke på ytan för att framhäva dess karaktär. Mossor kan också fästas för att skapa en mjukare övergång. Vid basen kan Cryptocoryne eller högre Vallisneria planteras för att komplettera formen.

Advantages of Tuskwood
- Genuine mineralised bogwood / moss wood
- Long life span
- Normally no biofilm or mucus formation
- Works in both hard and soft water
- Reliable sinking ability, normally sinking within 2-4 weeks
- Naturally beautiful colour tones in dark brown with a slightly reddish tinge under water
Unlike regular spiderwood, manzanita, mangrove or Malaysian driftwood, Tuskwood comes from Europe and has formed naturally in Nordic peatlands. The mineralisation and impregnation of humus makes the wood durable and beautiful.
Tuskwood slowly releases natural humic substances that support fish health. However, the impact on the colour of the water is minimal and usually not noticeable.
- Stable and mild release of humus
- Positive for the well-being of fish
- Spleen antimicrobial
A more sustainable choice
Much of the wood sold for aquascaping comes from tropical forests in Asia and is shipped halfway around the world.
Tuskwood is a Nordic natural material, collected locally as a by-product of other natural uses. This makes it a more sustainable choice, without tropical unregulated logging, mangrove destruction or undignified labour conditions. Tuskwood stands for minimal transportation and the promotion of local economy and jobs.
