May be obvious but have you weighted it down so it's fully submerged?

 

[Ryan Thang To]

I would need a brick to hold that down. If only I had a big pot to boil it

 

[Andy Thurston]

put a brick on it

Definitely, if parts aren't fully submerged it will take a lifetime to get water logged.

takashi amano would love to see a brick in my scape

Struggling with distribution. Full length spray bar on a eheim 2028 slows the flow right down. Goi g to have 2 eheim 2028's with 2.5ft spray bars and a inline diffuser on each. Should work alot better.

You could use cable ties and tie the wood to the stone.

I Just check the wood and its still floating after 2 week in water. How can I make it sink faster?

thanks im sure if I wait it will stop floating lol

 

[EdwinK]

In two years it will definitely stop. Joking of course. But you may end up with that after a long time of waiting wood still be a little buoyant and you will have to be extra cautious when maintaining your tank not to move it.

I had it in my discus tank and when I took it out for a couple of days it dry out flat. Im gona check it today.

Alright guys
Thanks for giving me your thoughts on which layout to choose. so I went ahead and decided to go for no 5 as I think the extra thick wood make a nice fissiden look. All plants has been order and should be ready to be planted on Friday or Saturday. I had plan on a dsm but it won't be now. Anyways thanks again and watch out for the updates.
Cheers
Ryan
