My 60 gallon is about 3 months old now, and as time has gone by, I've notice the tank getting darker overall. The lighting isn't that great anyways, but it's now noticably darker. Taking a sample of the water, it is a slightly brown-red, which I can confirm was from my Malaysian driftwood. The driftwood sat in hot water for a week but leftover tannins are still leeching out a little bit, making the water not murky (it's clear) but just dark. The fish are healthy, but any way I can create clearer water without a massive water change or is that the solution?
