In the title compound, [Ni(C(12)H(16)NO(5))(2)]·2H(2)O, the Ni(II) atom is coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from the two 6-meth-oxy-2-{[tris-(hydroxy-meth-yl)meth-yl]imino-meth-yl}phenolate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complexes and uncoordinated water mol-ecules into two-dimensional networks parallel to (001).
