Do you havedriftwood? Purigen or charcol carbon should take the yellow out of the water.

I only have sand in my tank and im using carbon already but im going to try putting some more and new carbon in to see if thats helps..

does your lighting make your water seem more yellow or is the water really yellow?

As stated above, carbon can help, but I swear by Purigen. I use it on every tank except my qt tank. Awesome stuff

Nah my water is really turning yellowish due to a major load of bio waste...

More frequent water changes or maybe a uv sterilizer.

30 percent? I take it they are pbass? I would go with at least 60 percent every week if not more
