Hi all
I brought 2 small pieces of driftwood from the range about a week ago. They have been sitting in water as advised and I've boiled them twice to get the tanins out.
So put them in the tank on Saturday and by yesterday we could hardly see the fish. Have removed them and done a 20% water chnage (tank still cycling) so didn't want to take too much out.
Not sure what to do now. The fish liked hiding and playing by the wood but I want a clear aquarium not one you can't see in.
I've seem that active carbon can help. Do I just put this in my tank in say a pair of tights or does it have to go somewhere special.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
