KUMU
KUMU Wood Collection KUMU offers two curated hornwood products designed for nano aquascapes and detail work. Hornwood's dense structure, dark color, and fine texture make it ideal for adding sharp, dynamic accents to small layouts without overwhelming limited space. KUMU WO-01 Horn Wood Chip (≈85 g) — SKU 106-761 Small, straight hornwood pieces with many pointed tips. Horn Wood Chip's compact size and sharp character create dynamic accents in nano aquariums, paludariums, and terrarium details. Key Characteristics: - Size: 50–100 mm individual pieces - Weight: Approximately 85 g per pack - Form: Many pieces are straight with pointed ends (resembles small branches or thorns) - Color: Dark brown to black when wet - Texture: Dense, fine-grained wood with minimal branching Aquascaping Applications: - Nano Aquarium Accents: Use individual chips as focal hardscape in small tanks (≤30 cm) - Detail Work: Add fine, pointed details to larger layouts without bulk - Vertical Elements: Stand chips upright to create miniature "dead tree" or branch effects - Paludarium Details: Use in emergent zones for naturalistic terrestrial wood texture Preparation: 3. Optional: Boil for 30–60 minutes to accelerate tannin release and ensure wood sinks immediately 4. Scrub with a soft brush to remove softened bark Planting Strategy: - Attach mosses (Taxiphyllum, Fissidens) to Horn Wood Chip using fishing line or DOOA Terra Line - Position chips around stones or larger wood pieces for textural contrast - Use pointed tips to create "thorny" or "spiky" compositional elements Tannin Release: Hornwood releases moderate tannins, tinting water yellow-brown. This is natural and beneficial for many fish species (tetras, Apistogramma, Betta). If you prefer clear water: - Boil multiple times, discarding the water each time - Use activated carbon in your filter to remove residual tannins Maintenance: - Hornwood's dense structure resists decay. pieces can last years in aquariums - Check periodically for algae buildup. scrub gently with a soft brush if needed Why KUMU Horn Wood Chip? Small wood pieces are often overlooked in aquascaping, but they're essential for nano layouts and detail work. KUMU's Horn Wood Chip provides high-quality, consistent pieces ideal for precise compositional control in small tanks. Key Features: - Designed for long-lasting performance and reliability - Maintains the pristine aesthetic of your aquatic display - Easy to install and integrate with existing equipment - Manufactured to exacting quality standards - Backed by extensive research and field testing Specifications: - SKU: 106-761

KUMU WO-02 Horn Wood Piece (4 pieces, 60–100 mm) — SKU 106-762 Small curved hornwood pieces ideal for creating flowing lines in nano aquascapes. When thoughtfully combined, Horn Wood Pieces form natural flow and directional movement in compact layouts. Key Characteristics: - Quantity: 4 pieces per pack - Size: 60–100 mm individual pieces - Form: Curved, branching shapes (more organic than WO-01 Chip's straight pieces) - Color: Dark brown to black when wet - Texture: Dense, fine-grained wood with natural curves and forks Aquascaping Applications: - Flowing Compositions: Arrange multiple pieces to create visual "flow" leading the eye through the layout - Nano Hardscape: Use as primary or secondary hardscape in tanks ≤30 cm - Layered Depth: Position pieces at different depths to create foreground, midground, and background layers - Paludarium Details: Use in emergent zones. the curved forms mimic natural fallen branches Preparation: 3. Optional: Boil for 30–60 minutes to accelerate tannin release and ensure wood sinks immediately 4. Scrub with a soft brush to remove softened bark Planting Strategy: - Attach mosses (Taxiphyllum, Fissidens, Flame Moss) along the curved branches to enhance flow - Plant small Anubias (A. nana 'Petite') or Bucephalandra at branch forks - Position curved pieces to "lead" the eye toward focal stones or plant clusters Compositional Tips: - Create Flow: Arrange pieces so curves point in the same general direction (left to right, or toward a focal point) - Vary Height: Use some pieces horizontally, others angled upward to add vertical interest - Avoid Symmetry: Odd numbers (3 or all 4 pieces) create more natural, dynamic compositions than symmetrical pairs Tannin Release: Maintenance: - Dense hornwood resists decay and lasts years in aquariums - Check for algae buildup. scrub gently with a soft brush if needed Why KUMU Horn Wood Piece? Curved wood pieces are invaluable for creating compositional flow in nano layouts. KUMU's selection ensures consistent size and shape—each pack contains four pieces that work together naturally, saving you the trial-and-error of sourcing compatible pieces individually. Key Features: - Designed for long-lasting performance and reliability - Maintains the pristine aesthetic of your aquatic display - Easy to install and integrate with existing equipment - Manufactured to exacting quality standards - Backed by extensive research and field testing Specifications: - SKU: 106-762
