Is an outdoor branch safe for my moss ball instead of driftwood?

Question

Hello. So this probably isn’t a question you get much but I was wondering if you guys would know. I want to attach a moss ball to drift wood. I have seen how to do this but people always use drift wood. Would you know if it would attach to a branch from outside? (With no bark) Thanks!!!!

Thanks for reaching out about Juno. Regarding which type of wood to use, many wood can be toxic. The idea of driftwood is that they are dried, bleached and have soaked for extended periods of time to leach out potential toxins. As the sap leaches into the water, potential materials either toxic or dangerous to the biological filter could cause problems. The wood from fruit with pits (peach, nectarines, etc.) and applewood potential contain cyanide. Oak and other hard woods have resins that could affect fish. Good luck.
