So the one piece of wood is too big for the tote my sis loaned me, and I'm considering just soaking it in the tank. But that brings about a ton of questions. It's Malaysian wood, is pretty dry, and I'm sure it's going to float. I'm considering attaching the plants and just letting it "cure" in the tank. The other piece is pretty heavy, so it may sink. I can tie some of the plants with fluorocarbon, but am considering the superglue method.
How do you use superglue on plants? Does everything have to be completely dry, or does it work if things are damp? Is it safe to put in a tank with fish? If not, how long do I have to wait? Does it work on smooth rocks too? I have Loctite Ultragel Control superglue, is this kind ok?
Another question is, are decorative beach pebbles safe to use in an aquarium? (The kind you can buy at Home Depot.) I really wanted some interesting pieces of dark lava rock, but can only find the really sharp jagged kind, so opted for the beach pebbles instead.
I have a nice culture of java moss, but it's not attached to anything, and I don't want it floating around in the tank. I wanted to attach it to something, so am wondering about the superglue thing. I have other mosses I can tie, but it would be nice to be able to secure them to some of the rocks.
