WIO Elder Root Mix250 - Enhance Your Aquascape with Natural Elder Roots

The Elder Root Mix250 is an essential addition to any aquascape or terrarium, offering an unparalleled natural aesthetic that enhances the realism of your layout. These dark-colored roots, ranging in size from 10 to 30 cm, are perfect for creating intricate, naturalistic designs that mimic the beauty of real underwater environments.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Natural Aesthetic: The dark color of the Elder Roots adds depth and contrast to your aquascape, making them an excellent choice for both terrariums and underwater layouts. Their natural appearance blends seamlessly with other natural elements, providing a realistic look that captivates and inspires.
• Supports Plant Growth: Strong enough to anchor aquatic plants and moss, these roots offer stability and support, promoting healthy growth and adding to the lush appearance of your aquascape.
• Easy Handling: Soaked in water for 24 hours before packaging, the Eco.Wio Elder Roots are easy to handle and manipulate, allowing for precise placement in your layout.
• Customizable Layouts: The variety of root sizes in each mix (10-30 cm) gives you the flexibility to create unique and personalized designs, whether you’re building a dense forest of roots or a minimalistic arrangement.

Important Usage Instructions:

1. Preparation: Rinse the roots with water before use to remove any loose particles.
2. Anchoring: During the initial setup, the roots may float due to buoyancy. Secure them using rocks, anchors, wood tight, moss cotton, or glue until they become fully waterlogged and sink naturally.
3. Tannin Release: Initially, the roots may release tannins, which can give your water a cognac-like tint, similar to natural rivers such as those in the Amazon. Tannins are harmless to aquatic life but can be managed with frequent water changes. To reduce tannins, you can pre-boil the roots for a few hours or soak them for a month before adding them to your aquarium.
4. Managing Saprolegnia: In the early stages, you might notice a white fungus called Saprolegnia on the roots. This is a normal occurrence and can be removed by scraping and siphoning with a small tube. It typically disappears on its own within a month.

The Eco.Wio Elder Root Mix250 not only enhances the visual appeal of your aquarium or terrarium but also supports the overall health of your aquatic plants and creatures. Whether you’re creating a complex aquascape or a simple, natural design, these roots are a versatile and essential component of your setup.
