driftwood

Hi can anyone help with advise for driftwood that still float after soaking for a week.I bought five pieces and two pieces still float after a week of soaking.Must I just carry on soaking them?

 

Hi blueskipjack Sometimes it can take up to a month for the wood to become waterlogged. You could try taking it out of your tank, putting it into a bucket of water, then weigh it down by placing a brick on it. change the water daily and do not leave in direct sunlight. Have you read this: http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/showthread.php?14231-How-to-make-your-own-driftwood

 

Hi thanks for the reply and the info.I will keep the wood in water for a longer period now.I found that some of my older pieces of wood still discolour my water and will soak them all for a longer period.Regards

 

Always a pleasure. It can be very frustrating, but just be patient! It'll be well worth the wait...
