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.
