Description of the nature of the root
Denna Tuskwood-rot har en robust och stabil bas som övergår i flera slingrande, gängliga grenar som sträcker sig uppåt. Dess naturliga, väderbitna utseende ger en autentisk känsla till akvariet.
Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
Rotens form gör den lämplig för att skapa höjd och struktur i akvariet, antingen som ett centralt blickfång eller som en del av en större komposition. De många ytorna och förgreningarna är utmärkta för att fästa epifytiska växter som Anubias, Bucephalandra och Javaormbunke, samt olika mossor. Runt basen kan Cryptocoryne-arter planteras för att mjuka upp övergången till substratet. De uppåtgående grenarna kan kompletteras med högre bakgrundsväxter som Vallisneria för att förstärka den vertikala effekten.

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.
