Why Does My Tank's Water Look All Yellowish Colour..?

[kevinthecow]

Full water change yet?

I'll go for it today if I need too.

My pH is like around acidic. (it always is. )

So, any suggestions?

Do you have wood in the tank? Wood will leech tannins into the water causing it to be yellowish...it will also lower your pH.

No wood..

No wood..

Plants? Dead plant material will stain the water.

Fake plants?

I think Imm'a do a full water change tmr. I have no way to get the water into the tank except for like one litre bowls.
maybe 2

What are your water stats - ammonia, nitrite, etc. A friend of mine who's stocking and cleaning habits have kept him in a perpetual cycle gets murky yellow water occasionally. I'm not sure what causes it, but I assume it's something to do with his water quality. It's possible the same thing is happening in your tank on a smaller scale.
