How long to sink a driftwood

**squall99e** · 18th Oct 2003, 08:36

Brought some mangrove roots from Nature Chan yesterday, the roots are now weight down by rocks. How long does it take to be able sink without using the weights.

Also can't use search, keep getting this msg,

squall,

It will take a while for the wood to soak up the water. If you want to speed up the process, you can try boiling the wood.

Yes, the search function is down. Unfortunately, we've known about this for sometime now and we're trying to resolve the problem.

Boiling also kills any creatures that maybe hidding in the driftwood.

Please search the LFS list for Nature Aquarium. Thank you.

Put your wood in a pail or basin and see if it clears after a while.
