How long to keep driftwood soaking?

Take some Zip-Loc bags and turn them into sandbags full of gravel and water. Drape them over the driftwood. Plant it up and try to ignore those sandbags for the first month or so. Gingerly remove one at a time. If the wood rises even slightly under your fingers, it's too soon.

Cycling takes ages too!
 
I think I will try something to the affect tomorrow when I try to get some more dust out of the sand. It gets very annoying when I try to put the wood in the tank, and then there is dust floating atound so much that I can't even see what I am doing from the top.
 
Oh, great idea. How 'bout attaching (I dunno how, superglue although I don't know if its toxic,) a magnet to the bottom of the slate? Then, take an opposite magnet and put it under your tank. You'd need a good size magnet, but it may work.
 
Hey wetman, your idea worked. I took one of my dad's little granet award thingies he got for like perfect attendence for 5 years in a row, put it in a zip-loc bag, folded the bag and put a rummber band around it. The thing was very small and dense(about 3"x 2"). I put half on the slat piece and the other half I covered with sand. The wood is staying down now. Thanks for the tip.
