Lorenzo, you have to act quickly and give me all your fish before they kill your driftwood ! Just kidding ... Is the water turning color too ? Try a UV sterilizer. Maybe some pics would help.

have u recently opened a window, took down curtains, or anything that would expose more sunlight on the tank. if so this will cause an explosion of algae growth on glass drift wood or anything else.

sounds like u need a uv steralizer.
