The water in both of my 55 gallon tanks is brownish. When you look at the tanks from the front it looks clear, but when you look through the ends it looks brownish. I have driftwood in the tanks and I'm wondering if thats the cause. I do weekly pwc, about 1/2. I boiled and soaked the dw a lot before putting it in the tanks. In one tank I have black sand and have noticed what appears to be tiny pieces of dw laying on top of the sand. The other tank has gravel so I can't see if there are pieces. I'm wondering if I should take the dw out and do pwc several times to see if it clears up. I have HOB filters with floss and ceramic rings. Should I put charcoal in the filters? Suggestions please?
