don't change too much water, otherwise your bio control might go haywire, even my case currently is pretty screwed, I only change little by little, like 2 L every 2 days

The driftwood is new right???
Its most probably because of the tannins leaking from the driftwood. New driftwood, especially the cheap ones will leak tanins which will make the water yellowish. So normally we will submerge it under water for a few days, change the water a few time, before we actually put it in the aquarium.

One very innovative way I hear to do this is actually to put it in the holding tank of the toilet. You know the tank of water stored for flushing the toilet. The concept is that you are actually changing the water every time you flush, and the water won't even go to waste. Just put it there until the water that comes out is not brown anymore. The rest of the details you figure out yourself la...

just checking did u put in any fertilizers or anti-clorine into the water? I dun think so since u dun have any plants yet ...

why put fertilizer when there's no plants?

that guy making good money from you lol.

Its like, why buy petrol when no car ( or any engine like tools ) >.>

Well try this, I'm not sure how you set the stuff up. Stop dosing fertilizers..

Anti chlorine dose with water change only..

Whats the soil you're using? What filter? Tank size? any Picture??

Drew

aha! if u are certain it is not caused by anti-clorine, then it must be the fertilizers...

the last time i had a yellow tank is after dosing them, and i only have JBL Ferropol and Excel Flourish.
