Hi guys!

Totally new to this and bought my first tank! 64l tropical. I set it all up yesterday and this morning I have orange water... Please help?!

Is there drift wood in your tank?

 

[ladystacy]

Yeah x

 

[missnathasha]

Did you soak it realllllly good before putting it in?

 

[missnathasha]

If not that may be your cause!!

Its the driftwood mine did the same thing it looks like a weak tea . You can put some activated carbon and itll take the color out . Itll only last a month for carbon but continue to do water changes
