Yeah it’s got everything this piece of wood and the thing is I didn’t even pick it myself was just potluck as I bought online . Thanks mate now the fun part begins with soaking it for a month lol

place a rock on it to anchor it in the soaking container/tub. It'll be a little quicker

Yeah will do , It should sink like a stone though it’s a pretty dense piece of wood will take a while though to get most of the tannins out

You can use charcoal packs to remove tannins too if those aren't your thing

Beautiful!
Driftwoods are always beautiful and they make your tank so natural...
Its like the fish natural habitat...
They are better than rocks that may cause your GH to go up if you use the wrong rocks...
