Floating Wood

[bradleybygrave]

Hello everyone
i recently got the jewel lido which is choca block with plants. So about a month ago i decided to buy a piece of red moor wood, it arrived two days later. Its now been floating in my fish tank for a month and it still floats, i have soaked it for ages and i have even drilled several holes through it, but it still floats. So is there any form of screw i could drill into the bottom of the wood to weigh it down that wont harm the fish or pollute the water or make the wood rot and screws rust?
anyone know?
Thanks Bradley

stainless steel screws would be ok or stick it to a piece of slate then bury it in the gravel/sand.

so just drill severall stainless steel screws in the bottom, how many will i need and will i have to soak/clean them first?

I had a similar problem. I ended up using suckers to keep the pieces in place.
