Bruh....just let it float. It'll sink, if it doesn't that's cool, too. Serious, I put a bunch a wood in my tank, it all floated for 3 weeks, I was sad to see it sink. Let it float

I had a piece float for 3 years and it was like 97% underwater but it just wouldn't sink so I gave up on it. It was a lame piece anyway lol
Yeah I'm gonna avoid, not worth the risk. I've got the wood in a filled bucket, hopefully it'll sink in the next year or so haha
Patience is awesome once you have mastered it. Just put it in your tank and wait for it to sink. Who cares if it breaks the surface, what is that going to hurt?
I have a 60+ year old coffee stump and was wondering if would be safe in with my clown loaches it's not an especially hard or soft wood but it weathers outside in the tropics well... Also no clue if it's safe I assume only the beans r toxic. I know it's a long shot but any help would be appreciated
Just curious what the reason behind this?
I ask because over here its not uncommon for a lot of plants that are sold actualy containing a small piece of soft mallable lead in the bottom basket weiging the plant down till it gets sold...
Also, normally these tanks are full of fish, which dont seemt to suffer have any ill effects in these tanks?
My understanding of lead poisoning is that it is caused by fine particles like lead paint dust and mine tailings.... Solid pieces of lead corrode on the surface creating a protective white layer then basically go inert.... That's why bullets and fishing lead r ok for the world
Soak the hell out of it....
but first, scratch it and smell it. If it has a very strong odor, like eucalyptus or cedar...probably want to stear clear...otherwise. ...
