Good look. Took mine 19 days!

I think it's the same thing - Azalea Root. I've seen it called spider wood.

I floated mine because I had no fish in the tank. I would be paranoid it'll sick and fall on a fish and kill it. With fish in the tank I'd probably use a bucket. Or put it in the tank and when it starts to sick use a bucket. Or use a bucket now and keep a towel over the bucket to keep bugs out.

Very much the reason I didn't move to America - bugs.

Or just put your tanks in your ol' knapsack and leave the country. I hear they allow one 20g and a carry-on nano. May have to pay extra for the water, fish, and spider wood

I have 2 pieces of Aqua One azalea root in an old tank in the garden. They've been there about 3 weeks. They took 3 or 4 days to sink, but they're still making the water cloudy. I last change the water on Thursday afternoon. It's just gone slightly cloudy again on Sunday morning. This is a lot better than 3 weeks ago as the water went so cloudy within hours that I couldn't see through the water.

Like HoldenOn, the roots are too big to fit in a pan, so I've been pouring boiling water over them every time I change the water. Some of the reviews on this wood say that they killed fish, but I do wonder if that's because they put it in the tank too soon. That's why I'm waiting until they no longer cloud the water.

Probably, don't know if my parents will appreciate the oven on in the middle of summer

My wife gets a bit upset when I heat up PVC pipe in the oven, she can be quite unreasonable

With lots of aluminum foil, you can use a outdoor grill on low heat.

Heating pvc pipe will release all sorts of toxins you're inhaling. Be careful
