What would you do?

Bought a really nice, expensive piece of wood yesterday and asked the guy three times if it would sink. Threw it in my pond to soak for a couple of days and the stinker floated!!!

Should I go ahead and try to return it OR try to sink the wood by screwing it with stainless steel screws to a piece of plexi? I also question whether or not screwing it in with plexi will work since this piece of wood is really big!

Well if it is really nice, I would sink it. Instead of plexi though use an 18x18" slate tile. That will sink it better than the plexi.

I would put rocks and substrate on the plexi to sink it.

If I did use slate, anybody know if its difficult to screw into?

 

[WyldFya]

1 masonry drill bit, and some screws is all ya need. Easier IMO than plexi, as it doesn't bind on the drill bit.

 

[Gr8KarmaSF]

screws/nuts/bolts must be stainless steel correct?

 

[WyldFya]

I would use the stainless. I also would use lag bolts if you can get them.

You can also use reefbuilders glue

do they usually sell this at pet shops???

anybody here use it before?

sounds much easier than drilling...

I think you should bring Clyde to the lfs and tell him to "Scrap the shop, Clyde". Then stand back and snicker like Snidely.

Check a good saltwater shop that has lots of corals. They should have it.
