Description of the nature of the root

Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
Dess enkla form gör den lämplig som en bas i ett akvarium, antingen liggande eller delvis nedgrävd. Den kan med fördel kombineras med andra rötter eller stenar för att skapa mer komplexa layouter. Ytan erbjuder fästpunkter för epifytiska växter som Anubias, Bucephalandra och Javaormbunke, vilka kan fästas med fiskelina eller lim. Mossor kan också bindas fast för att mjuka upp intrycket. För en naturlig känsla kan Cryptocoryne planteras runt basen, och högre Vallisneria kan placeras i bakgrunden för att rama in roten.
Dimensions of the root
- Length: 38cm
- Height: 13 cm
- Depth: 10 cm
Proposed aquarium format and size
Med sina mått på 38 cm i längd, 13 cm i höjd och 10 cm i djup/bredd passar denna rot i medelstora till större akvarier.

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.
