Description of the nature of the root
This Tuskwood root piece is a simple, upright and tapered piece of wood with a natural, robust character. Its shape is mainly straight with a softly tapered top.
Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
The root is ideal as a vertical accent in the aquarium or as a stable base in a larger composition. Its surface offers good attachment points for epiphytic plants such as Anubias, Bucephalandra and Java fern. Smaller mosses can be tied in to soften the edges. At the base, lower Cryptocoryne species can be planted, and taller Vallisneria in the background can reinforce the vertical effect.

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.
