I like BNs, kept them in the past, but they are definitely poop machinesI've seen these everywhere, all across Instagram, so I'm getting one for my 30 gallon tmmrw.
It has driftwood, so don't worry

It's manzanita wood that I got for just $9.99!

That big piece of wood was just $10? It's very nice.

My BN Pleco is not aggressive at all.
That manzanita wood is really cool, but your pleco may not find it useful. Manzanita wood is very hard and not easy to chew. I'd add a couple small-ish pieces of standard bog wood to that tank. Be sure to feed veggies a few times per week.
Also, I don't know what type of filter you have on that tank, but you'll definitely want to over-filter with plecos. I upgraded to an AQ 70 for my 29, and am glad I did.

Hate to burst your bubble, but I had two red marble ones (that are more expensive than the common type) and I gave them both to my LFS. I could not stand the poop any longer. It piled up in my filter within days, and I couldn't keep ahead of it. It was disgusting. It was so nice to get them out of here, and have a clean filter again! Also, one got too aggressive, scaring other fish away from the food, and I just got fed up. You've been warned!
Get bog wood from your LFS. It has to be relatively soft.

Did you try Amazon or ebay for the bog wood/drift wood? I've ordered it off Amazon before.

What kind of BN Pleco are you getting. They are my favorite fish in my tanks. I have three, one in each tank. Alison
