yeah mate it will be full of air, leave it in a bucket of water and it will fill up wih water and sink just like drift wood.

oh righto, thnx, i just finished getting all the old gravel out of my tank, and im almost ready to drain the rest of the water out, then i dunno weather to put the gravel in first or the water in first then the gravel, n e preferances??

defiately gravel first in my opinion. i just put a plate over a section and slowly add the water. that way everything can be set up the way you want first, thats just me anyway.

plate aye, i always wondered how to stop the water from putting a hole in the gravel.....that is wat the plates for isnt it??

[bristlelover]

yeah thats it. i guess you could pretty much use anything as long as it wont move.
