Description of the nature of the root
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.
Aquarium style suggestions 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.
Dimensions of the root
- Length: 35cm
- Height: 28cm
- Depth: 10 cm
Proposed 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.

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.
