anyone know if grapewood vine for terrariums can be used in aquariums wo problems
 
It can but it is really buoyant. I have used it years ago, but I had to weight it down for a few weeks before it finally sank.
 
How about siliconing it down ot weighing it down w silicone rocks or weigths and does it leach Tannins Like crazy too?
 
Not as much as mopani or malaysian wood, but it will leach some tannins. Just float it and let it sink on its own. It floats so well that I had a hard time weighing it down.
 
I have a ton of grapewood in my tank and I love it. I soaked it in a tub outside until it sank, then scrubbed/hosed it off and into the tank.
