Description of the root's character
These two pieces of Tuskwood-Root S2372620 are sturdy and functional pieces of wood with a natural, dark brown colour and clear wood texture. They have a rough, fibrous surface that gives a rustic impression.
Suggestions for aquarium styles and planting ideas
The simple shapes make them versatile for creating a stable base or as discrete elements in an aquarium. They can be placed standing or lying down. Excellent for attaching epiphytic plants such as Anubias, Bucephalandra and Java fern. Mosses can also be tied to soften the edges. For a more natural feel, Cryptocoryne can be planted around the base, and taller Vallisneria can be placed behind to create depth.
Measurements of the root
- Length: 35 cm
- Height: 28 cm
- Depth: 10 cm
Suggested aquarium format and size
With a length of 35 cm, height of 28 cm and depth/width of 10 cm (dimensions for the larger part or overall), these pieces fit well in medium to large aquariums. They can be used together to create a grouping or separately to distribute the interest in the aquarium.

Benefits of Tuskwood
- Genuine mineralised bogwood / bog wood
- Long lifespan
- Normally no biofilm or slime 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 common spiderwood, manzanita, mangrove or Malaysian driftwood, Tuskwood comes from Europe and has formed naturally in Nordic peatlands. The mineralisation and impregnation with humic substances make the wood durable and beautiful.
Tuskwood slowly releases natural humic substances that support fish health. However, the effect on the colour of the water is minimal and usually not noticeable.
- Stable, mild release of humic substances
- Positive for fish wellbeing
- Mildly antimicrobial
A more sustainable choice
Much of the wood sold for aquascaping comes from tropical forests in Asia and is shipped halfway around the globe.
Tuskwood is a Nordic natural material, collected locally as a by-product of other land use. This makes it a more sustainable choice, free from unregulated tropical deforestation, destruction of mangrove swamps or unworthy working conditions. Tuskwood stands for minimal transport and supports the local economy and jobs.
