Matt gee

Hi all, my names matt, new member from the UK, I've been watching the co op for years !! Love it !!! I've added some plum tree branches that are well dried but I've left the bark on mainly because it looks cool, my system is 1200litres ( not sure in gallons but I think it's about 300gallon) am I making a mistake ? I do have a papa panaque pleco that loves eating wood so I'm hoping he will help with the bark. The other fish are Altum Angelfish and geos Thanks
