Full tank shot crappy pic. And a video ive only just come out of the tank so everything is still sulking lol.

Click to expand... Did the wood have any effect in the end? I am wondering if when i get polyfilter if it will soak up the tannins I've had stained water for over 6 months, even with 30% w/c weekly! But i dont mind, i think it suits the tank (bog wood and parrots, boo hiss!) so i am not bothered if i lose the tannins or not, just wondered
