Soak the DW completely in boiling water and let in cool down for 2 days and repeat process again. After a week the DW shd sink by it self. Boiling water helps kill any parasites the DW may hve and also draw out the tea color so that when u put the DW, your tank water is not very yellow.
I also tried this method but couldn't soak in boiling water cos it's too big to fit any container. Will just leave the bag of CR there till it sinks.

It looks very spacious even though you have so many big fishes inside.

Thanks for the tip, i think will just leave it got it a hassle putting the CC onto the DW.

Finally my big DW manage to sink. Had to Twist & turn & knock out the air bubbles. Next step is to tie plants onto it. Here's how it looks now:

Also about 3 days but didn't touch it, will remove the CC later and see if it floats.

I only rinsed it, did not boil it or soak it with hot water.

Let see after soaking for a week or 2 if it still float.
