Aquarium guides

Tuskwood is ancient bogwood that can be hundreds to thousands of years old. The age is part of the feel of the material, but each root is unique.

Tuskwood can sometimes offer really large bogwood roots for 120cm aquariums and larger, but XXL roots are always unique and limited.

Moorholz, Moorkienholz and bogwood describe closely related ideas: wood preserved in bog or peat. But trade names are used differently.

I ett 120 cm akvarium kan man arbeta med större rötter, grupper och tydlig riktning. Men även stora kar behöver balans och öppen yta.

I ett 80 cm akvarium kan roten få mer närvaro än i ett 60 cm kar, men formen är fortfarande viktigare än maxlängden.

Moths and plecos need more than decoration. The right root provides natural surfaces, hiding places, shade and a safer bottom environment.

Shrimp need safe areas, hiding places and a stable aquatic environment. A good root for shrimp should be natural, stable and suitable for small aquariums.

White slime on aquarium roots is often harmless biofilm, but it can be unpleasant. Here we explain what it is and how Tuskwood differs.

Mangrove roots are classic in aquariums, but Tuskwood provides better traceability, more localised origin, natural surface and more unique shape.

Dragonwood can give a dramatic and bright look. Tuskwood is better suited when you want darker colour, unique shape, natural finish and history.
