Saw this peice and it looked decent but 90% sure it won't be good for an aquarium..never seen wood with white like this...Thoughts? not sure on what type of wood either..

Is it dense? Does not appear to be pine. Perhaps the whitish color is from exposure (bleaching from the sun). Where did you find it?

In my cousins California backyard..It doesn't look like any of the branches from the trees around the house.

It's kind of dense..If feels like the white part is dense and hard..the base and brown parts seem to be bark and so are flaky...

If you can't press your fingernail into it then it should be alright.

Boil the heck out of it if it gives you piece of mind.

I've used plenty of sticks from around my lake/yard
