Boiling up to to speed up sinking of the drift wood. It soak my wood for 2 to 3 weeks. But some I noticed do not sink. It could be because of density even after soaking them in boiling water.

tie some rocks to it or use some weight to weigh it down.
My driftwood started to sink but they still leech out tannin =(
Should i just throw them into my tank and let the filter do the cycling?
I used seachem Purigen too. It works.
Thanks! Can i check what exactly does seachem Purigen do?
Driftwoods leaking tannin out is normal. No worries, some fish even likes it! :P
You can boil the wood several times to speed up the leaking process. It would be like tea in the making. You can just setup the tank as normal and do more regular water change when you see the water a bit yellowish. After few weeks, things will get better!
I did write up some treatment process last time during my first tank setup. Cheers!

Purigen helps purify water, keeps them clear and helps with your nitrate. But then, you get one more thing to maintain when comes to cleaning. For the time being, you can try boiling the wood further or just do more water change. Water will be ok soon. I will not worry too much.
I see. Thank you all for the guidance.
I had purchased the eheim profession 4+ 350. Can i check if their filtration media is good or should i purchase others to put it in?
I had the ADA Rio stuff from previous time.
Also, I am using purely ADA substrate.
