Hi all I am having a problem with yellow/brown tinge to my tank water. I am using 2 9L bags of Ammazonia in my 200 L setup and no matter what I do the water still stains. The water will clear after a 50% water change but after a couple of days the colour will return. Its not too noticeable from the front but is from the side. While I do have redmoor wood it was well soaked prior to adding to the tank and besides I had the same problem with my previous scape which contained only rock. The soil is over a year old now. I have tried purigen and also a UV lamp thinking it was an algae bloom but its not. I did read somewhere that Ammazonia will stain somewater types. I'm thinking of starting over again and using another type of substrate but would like to find a fix first. Apologies for the rubbish photo. As always I'd appreciate any advice received.
