Yep, always be carefull with wood.
We do have overhere some beautifull wood "peat-wood" (??) but in time it get's to soft and algae will show.
The chemistry of your water will change because of the organic matter it releases : this will increase the bacterial count in your water (stress for the fish) and sometimes this organic stuff are nourishing the algae.
I know use tropical wood and the piece I have did not color the water and had also no algae grow on it when using it in the tank : this piece is safe.
