Bought a bunch of ghostwood and grape wood but having second thoughts on mixed reviews online. Sounds like grape wood especially tots and has white fungus for a period.
I really want to use Either of these types but not at the expense of the tank. It is sandblasted and marketed as aquarium safe from blooms and branches. I would pre soak for a month and boil out the tannins etc.

What type of wood do you guys use with great success?
 
I used manzanita before and it grew the white fungus to. I had a sailfin pleco that went nuts for the fungus and ate it up. I wouldn't worry about it to much. I seem to remember a similar thread and others had the same advice. Not much to worry about. Good luck
