Hard scape

Does anyone know if madrone tree branches are aquarium safe. I want to use some off the branches that the bark has peeled off. Thanks.

If you can put a dent in the wood using your thumbnail, chances are it's not tough enough and will break down and rot in your tank. I would do Manzanita, which is very similar to Madrona and is relatively local.

Ok thanks. I'll try finding the manzanita. Thank you for replying.
