Driftwood help!

[IAMTHOMAS]

Hi I've had my planted discus tank which is 125 gallons and I have this lovely piece of driftwood but it seems that the water had changed color. I do a 10%-20% water change every two weeks. But the water is still the same color!

How do I get rid of this!

Driftwood will release tannins and it will continue for a few months or so and then it will stop. Time and water changes.

Why do you want to change this color so badly? It's actually good for your fish!

Yeah, the fish love it. It also helps to soften the water.

Eventually the tannins won't leach out so much, but in the meantime you can either a.) do more frequent water changes or b.) use some carbon in the filter.

As others have said, the tannins don't bother the fish at all.
