My 6 gallon fluval edge has been cycling for about a week now. My first planting was a disaster with all of the java moss dying and the crypts turning into nothing but roots. Fortunately, the crypts are coming back. My question is concerning the tinted water from driftwood. I had to finally remove the small piece I had in the tank since it just would not stop leeching. It is in the toilet tank now. I really want to add it back in. After many water changes, the tank is much clearer. Do the plants suffer due to the brown water? The led lights are weak as it is and my black substrate does not brighten things up at all. It just looks dark in there.
Please advise.
