Hello,

To add some drift wood to your aquarium to make some new and different decor i prefer to have a smooth flat rock, various pieces of dry drift wood {this can be found on the beach}, and some water proof epoxy glue. The drift wood must a decent size that is suitable for your tank. You can find the glue in some places. I found mine at Walmart. The glue should come with two tubes of stuff that you need to mix together. If not then just follow the directions on the glue package. Next once you have the glue prepared spread some on the smooth rock. Then attach drift wood to the rock and let it harden. Soon if you want you could add some other driftwood to your obstacle. If you decide to add more then let it dry before adding it to the tank. Now you would have the new piece of decor ready to make a splendid aquarium.

Very important tips to follow:

1. Make sure to clean wthe drift wood and rocks with hot water and no soap, bleach or other substance. Just hot water.

2. Follow the directions for the glue.

3. Be careful not to touch the glue because the glue is really strong and may not come off of you.

4. Make sure that the glue is water proof or else it will not work when you put it insid the tank.

5. You might want help from an adult {if you are not an adult} with the glue.


Hope you like this decor.

I dont know why you use the glue. My brother told me and i followed his instructions. Maybe to give it a firmer support?
