This is my most recent venture in aquascaping:
I wanted a large piece of wood or two as the main feature, so I found a rather large chunk of oak. The problem is, it doesn't sink. I've stacked rocks on it, as you can see, but I'm not sure how long I can stand to look at them shoved so awkwardly in my little environment.
Does anybody have experience of using pieces of this type of wood, and of this size? How long did it take to sink?
I'm thinking of screwing a piece of slate to the bottom, but I'd rather not. I dread dragging plants out with the wood when I come to remove it.
Many thanks.

I was so pleased when I found it. The hardscape is actually made up of two pieces of wood. The darker piece on the left is from a previous aquascape. I came to the conclusion that it'd end up looking like a single piece when stuff starts growing on it. Can't the water to clear up and everything to start growing in.
