Description of the nature of the root
Denna Tuskwood-rot P302621 är en solid och robust rotbit med en distinkt C-formad böj.
Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
Dess form gör den lämplig som en central del i ett akvarium, där den kan skapa en naturlig båge eller ett skyddande utrymme. Ytan är texturerad och erbjuder utmärkta fästpunkter för epifytiska växter som Anubias, Bucephalandra och Javaormbunke. Mossa kan enkelt bindas fast för att förstärka det naturliga intrycket. Runt roten kan Cryptocoryne planteras, och bakom den kan högre Vallisneria bidra till en lummig bakgrund.
Dimensions of the root
- Length: 23cm
- Height: 40cm
- Depth: 14cm
Proposed aquarium format and size
Med sina mått på 23 cm i längd, 40 cm i höjd och 14 cm i djup/bredd passar den väl 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.
