samo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 have you got any drift wood, leaves or plant matter in the water? Drift wood if it's new and wasn't rinsed and prepared will leak tannins into the water which turn it a 'tea' colour. Leaves such as Indian Almond leaves will do the same, especially as they break down. A great way to clear the water up is a bag or two of Purigen in your filter. Costs about $25 from your LFS.
