My tank is turning blue:confused:? It is a amazonian tank with 8 month old african driftwood that leeches tanis and long cycled for months. Just the past three or four days, the tannis colored water (ever since my driftwood was added5 months ago) has been changing to blue! I'm creeped out so i gave a 15% water change immediately. the bubbles created by the filter is getting even bluer. WHAT IS WRONG? my fish don't seem much different, yet. Could it be the new Penguin filter that i added on? I know the two filter cartridges are blue. Its been really hot lately too, so tank is 86F (give or take 1 degree F). hmmm... run my diatom filter asap?

heres what i add do my ****ty tap water:
seachem prime (chlorine)
seachem acid (lower PH from 9.3 to 7)
baking soda (raise KH from 0 to 4-5)
seachem replenish (raise GH from 1 to 4-5)

What do you guys think?:confused:
