Don't? Tie it to a rock instead.

 

[liljosh609]

Oh. I thought I saw some pic. Of something like that?

 

[somethingsfishy]

Agreed. If I grows on the wood it will be removed with the wood later on. You could always buy a decent piece to grow plants and use others as deco.

U mean a real piece? And for how much, if I even can get one At petsmart...

Look at mopani wood in the reptile section at petsmart. You have to treat it yourself, but it's only 10 bucks!

Is it safe for fish? Btw here a pick of the tree the branch came from.

Or look on Craigslist alot of people sell treated wood for really cheap

So it's oak? It might be ok then. But let's see who else comments.

I think that if it is a hardwood like oak, hickory, etc. then it should be fine. Yes it will rot, so I would be on the look out, but I don't think it will happen fast enough to show an ammonia spike if the tank is established. I would bleach it, boil it, or bake it to be almost certain that it is free of unwated pests.

Are tumbler needles or leaves? I can't see the pic well.

Spell check stinks. Are those needles or leaves? Sorry.

 

[liljosh609]

Oh. Haha. Yea they are leaves. Sorry for the bad pic, I was runnin outa daylight.

I would clean it and put it in. It looks like oak to me and that's what I use. Clean it good and debark it. That's the first to start rotting.
