Default Re: yellowy-green color water

How long have you had the driftwood? A yellow-brown tint (tea color) would be a sign of tannins leaching from it. If this is the case, it is normal. It will eventually clear up on its own. Or you can boil it longer or run carbon in your filter.

Green water on the other hand is an algae bloom. As mentioned above, three day black out and completely cover the tank.
