I started my tank with grapewood and decided to change after it became covered in a white slime. I heard great things about Zoomed Mopani Wood so I purchased one small piece for the tank. I boiled the wood for about 30 minutes and installed. 2 days later I notice a brown tinge in the water. I removed the wood and added activated carbon pellets (in a bag) to the Marineland Penguin 100 filter. It's now a day later and the water seems to be getting worse. From my understanding, the discoloration is a result of the tannins released in the water from the wood. How can I get my water clear again without a water change? Mind you, my tank is still cycling and nitrites are just beginning to bloom. Any help?
