yes, you need to give it some time to sink on its own,
In the meanwhile weight it down with stone, since you will will be changing water regularly i think it will leach slowly. |

read this idea at one of the sites thought I'd share it hope it helps.
You can also try buying suction cups with screws on the back to achor the driftwood.
just make sure the screws are stainless steel. |

Flush Idea made me
Imagine if it starts releasing tannins, then everytime you flush you get brown water in your toilet!! |
