Easy answer? Time. If you don't want to wait you can use stainless steel screws to attach it to a heavy base like a piece of slate. I prefer the give it time and let it sink naturally method.

The time method has always worked best for me....

BUT......

I bought three pieces of driftwood at the KC auction a couple years ago, and one piece never did sink. It is now vertical in the tank, so maybe eventually, but it is just no a sinker.
