Thanks for the link I am aware of all those solutions I have about 25 pices so I would really like to find a way to get it to stay down for good by itself.
The best way to do it is to let it soak in a tub/Bucket after boiling, this does two things, Continues to leach out Tannis while it is soaking and also waterlogs it! I may take 1-2weeks to become water logged, The last peice I done took about 1 1/2 weeks to become water logged. I also do daily water changes in the tub to remove the tannis that has been released!
Good news to report I sunk 4 pices just by boiling them for HOURS and throwing them into the sink cold water. Only 20+ more to go

Well I am starting up a 60-65g not sure mostly drift wood decor so atleast 15+ pices will go in there and I have 2 more 55's I am adding abit to. BTW I hope no one else has to buy 25 pices of driftwood as it is very expensive

I just got 2 pieces from them. The wood sinks right away and they are super cheap. Even after shipping it was cheaper than the LFS.
that's a hell of a lot of driftwood.
to whoever said putting it in a bath tub.. thats a good idea but where would you bathe?
if i ever want some i think ill spend a day at the beach hunting!
