Stainless steel screws have been used to connect driftwood to slate for many decades without any problems ever arising so far as I am aware. I have certainly never heard of any issues and I have had such in my tanks for longer that most folks here have been alive.

Fasten sucktion cups to the root. Then you can attach it to the bottom or the walls of the tank.

Now let me word this without sounding as creepy as I did with my first question...


Is there a website where I can get wood for a good price? I don't want to go out and spend alot of money when I can just stay home and get wood from the internet for cheaper.

wow, there really isn't a right way to say that is there? dang it...

Don't you have a LFS that sells it? Because of the bulky size, I would think it might be $$$ to ship.

And stay off those sites your mother warned you about!

lol best bet would be to say "im looking for a resource for cheap (insert type of wood here; drift, bog,)wood, anyone know of any?" :lol:

anyway, you can try like ebay, craigslist for local people breaking down tanks. craigslist is where i usually go if im looking for some rock that i can cure for a nice price, or tanks/stands/etc.
