i've had these driftwood for about a month from a previous owner and he said it doesn't leach no more comes to find out it does leaches still -___- so i soaked it in a cooler for a week drained out the water 2x a day and i added it in to the tank and it leached a little. i do weekly water changes but i dont see any diffrence. my question is when is this going to stop and become crystal clear?

There is no definite answer to your question. Give it time. It will leach one day and then it won't.
Really depends on the type of wood and what fish you stock. I have several pieces of malaysian and mopani that are over 15 years old that still leech a little.
I also house an L204 (wood eating pleco). As long as I keep that fish, Ill have tannins in the tank

No matter what I feed mine, it still consumes alot of wood on a nightly basis. Seems to constantly release tannins because a new layer of wood is always being exposed to the water. Purigen works wonders for keeping it clear though
