Is it just a bag, or an incubator for aquatic creativity? The story behind the Tannin bag.

When we first conceived Tannin Aquatics, the idea was to offer fellow hobbyists all of the cool stuff that we love so much- Leaves, wood, and other “aquatic botanicals”, which add a unique, natural look and vibe to almost any aquarium. Our aesthetic leans towards the earthy, organic, and natural.

When it came time to find a way to package our products that conveyed this feeling, it was only obvious that we needed something earthy and natural-looking. After much research and brainstorming, we came up with the idea of a cool, reusable jute bag. We had to try out a lot of versions before we finally found what we are looking for.

We’d like to think that the result was one of the coolest packages in the aquatics industry, which provides form, function, and an unwavering sense of aesthetic! Yeah, we knew we were on to something when people started asking for the bags as soon as we featured them on Facebook and Twitter- before we even had a functioning web site!

Many of our aquatic botanicals will come with this cool, reusable bag, which will no doubt find a myriad of uses around the fish room and beyond.

It might be just a bag to some, but to us, it’s the tangible embodiment of our core values, mission, and aesthetics…Leaves, wood, water…life- and the ability to embrace all. We look forward to offering you materials that help you express yourself in the aquatic world. And it all starts with the bag!

Stay Wet!
