Your driftwood could be leaching tannins that the camera isn't picking up.. If your water looks tea-ish then it's the tannins

Tannins aren't harmful. Try doing a water change first

If you want crystal clear water add some chemi pure ( a very good carbon that lasts 6 months) and some seachem purigen into your filter. You can also use polishing pads or aquarium safe quilt batting or floss to trap the finer particles in the water.

Also. To treat the driftwood if you didn't know is to boil water and dump it on it while it's in a cooler. Or just boil the wood. Tannis flows out from the wood into the water. Just a quick tip to get the water to 100% clarity.
