I added several plants today, as well as some root tabs. I came home from work a few hours later and the water is brown. The fish seem to be fine, the nitrate, nitrite, ammonia levels are all within normal range. Has anyone ever had this experience?
Tank Water is Brown... I can hardly see the fish!

Did you bury the root tabs really well?
I have a 20 gal. tank with regular aquarium gravel. It was up and running with fish (4 tetras and 5 danios) for a little over two weeks prior to putting in the plants. Prior to planting the water was slightly cloudy, but nothing like it is now. From what I've read, I'm inclined to believe it's the root tabs...
