It may never sink. It's most likely not for aquariums. If it was for reptiles it's soft wood and I wouldn't recommend putting in the tank anyway.

Some wood won't sink, but others just has to be thoroughly waterlogged before it will sink properly. Manzanita is a good example of this.

I would say boil it a few time let it soak for week. Should sink. Convict is the wood guy. He knows best.

HAHAHAH SOOOO not sure if I like that!!!

I would boil it and soak it. BUT I have a feeling if its made for a reptile tank it's not gonna hold up too well. Give it a shot I guess and see what happens.
