Why did this get moved? It has nothing to do with DiY or freshwater products. It was fine at General Freshwater

You can try boiling the driftwood to try and make it sink...as for the local rocks, you can also boil it to disinfect the rocks. Some rocks will leach minerals to your aquarium making your aquarium hard. You can test the rock by adding vinegar to the rock...if you see the rock fizzing, then it will leach minerals in your tank...which can be good or bad depending on the type of fish you have.
