My fiance found a piece of driftwood in all her junk she took from her parents, and I decided to use it in my tank since it compliments the other piece. I soaked it in a 5 gal bucket for a week, to pull tannins and all that crap out, but when I went to put it in the tank it would float. I weighed it down with slate, and 1.5 weeks later its still wanting to float if i take the slate off.
Is this typical? How long does it normally take to get wood to sink? Are some pieces ever just plain unsinkable?
