Large water changes

the tannin actually benefits the fish. but i like it cuz it looks more natural. keep doing water changes and eventually it will clear up. or take the wood out and soak it for a few days/week till it stops tanning. a lil tanning is nice tho.

it is a lil nice but i would like clear water to see my fish better and how many water changes should i do in a month so not to disturb my fish and there health

Activated Charcoal will also help but water changes work the best.

do about 1-2 50% or so water changes a week.should clear up fast.
