not realy sure where to post this- so i've posted in diy too

I'm getting ready to set up my new tank (270 liter sun sun )

I've got everything ready to go (bar new plants)

I scavenged some drift wood from the river and have had it soaking for the last week and a half after pressure washing it

-should i treat it in any way to kill off any nasty's-its too big to boil(about 60+ cm long)

-it's lost most of it's buoyancy,but not all -any ideas how i could hurry the process up

tanks in advance

I have never treated any driftwood I have added to tanks. Just gave it a thorough hosing and a scrub with a nailbrush or similar and made sure there was nothing stuck in the holes and crevices.

Hot water and baking soda should suck any remaining air out of the log.

Someone could probably make a nice bit of money getting an old boiler that you could put big pieces of driftwood in, hook up a vacuum pump to suck out all the air then fill it with water. Should be instant sinking driftwood.

Sink your driftwood! $20! per piece!
