driftwood in tank-if i stop the carbon will the tank change color?

[yankeeslover]

im not sure if i should have added this to my previous post, but wasnt sure if it would be read or not. i have decided to perhaps junk the carbon from AC filter..but i have decent size of driftwood that i put in there about one month ago... if i junk the carbon will my water start to get dark? i did boil the driftwood for a couple days.. it never changed my water color but im not sure if thats because the carbon.. i dont want tea colored water....

If you soaked it before in hot water and got no change you will have no problem in your tank.

Since carbon does help to remove tannins, you may see a slight change in color now that you removed the carbon. Boiling should've removed a fair amount of the tannins so you may not even see the slight browning.
