I bought some drift wood at the lps the other day and I’ve been soaking it for days now. It’s still floating. Did I just buy the wrong kind? I know some types never get water logged and will always float. It didn’t say what kind it was but could it be cedar? It kinda smells like cedar- but just faintly? Anyway, how long do you usually have to soak drift wood before it becomes water logged and will sink?

drift wood is called drift wood cause it floats???
get a piece of flagstone from a rock quarry. Place it on top of the driftwood and keep it there for 3 weeks and then check it or if you want check it once a week. There are different kinds of driftwood. Malaysian, Mopan I can’t think of any others right now. Cedar has lots of oils in it, I would not think it would be fish safe in a closed environment.
Some will float basically forever. You should look into using aquarium safe silicon. You could use it to attach it to the bottom of the tank or a rock.
well whar i red in a book once that said you need a bucket that can hold the wood and tie some fish line to a rock and then to the drift wood and then let soak for two weeks and change the water everyother day.
The book is called My Guppy
