570. Manzanita Driftwood, How to stop driftwood from floating. Si

I am jacked about all of this Manzinita driftwood I now have. Naturally it floats like a cork so I am going to be battling that for a while. That's fine and part of the game with good drift wood. I am in no hurry to get this manzanita driftwood into my tanks as I am kinda overhelmed with it right now to be honest. I am loving the shapes that it comes it though. I'll boil the pieces I decide to go with.

I drill suction cups to the bottom of it and then stick it to the bottom. It really works! Thumbs up this so Dustin can see.

Make holes in plastic food storage lid, thread zip tie thru and connect to wood. Bury lid in gravel. Done!

DOn't know if you are still interested in techniques to sink the wood, but when i have a small pieces i put them in a small metal bucket with an airtight lid. THen I pressurized the container. That forces water into the recesses of the wood. Making it waterlogged faster. Looks like you have some large pieces. You could also achieve the same effect with a heavy gauge rbber liner, sealed all around. Im not so good at explaining things in text. Shoot me a msg for better explanation.

I use fishing string to tie a bundle together

I used fishing weights attached to fishing line on my driftwood that wouldn't sink took 2-3 months for mine to sink. :D goodluck hope this helps you out :)

@zZUnderTheBlueZz But arnt his tanks dirted it's gonna be a pain then

[camryds]

you can tie them together using some fishing-line + then drill the bottoms to a stainless steel plate or slate rock and then bury the slate or stainless steel plate into the substrate

I drill it to a piece of slate.

I got some driftwood like that in my tank and got it to sink by submerging it initially in boiling (or just super hot) water then just letting it soak for a month. I changed the water once a week adding hot water each time. I also weighed it down so it was totally submerged. I have some videos of it if you check out my uploads.
