Wood Tinting My Water?

[madjoker14]

Hi everyone,i went to a park the other day and starting picking out pieces and out of the 15 pieces i picked that lookd great in my tank, i soak them in boiling water for about an hour and then i droped them into my tank, wich made the tank look awesome,

After about 3 days the tank started to get cloudy, like a light brown color,though it was algae but i think it might be the wood since its the newest addition to my tank, any way to get rid of tinting without removing the wood??

Thanks for reading and input

Carbon in the filter will clear the water, but if your tank is planted then its better not to use carbon, it wont do the fish any harm though a lot of it can change the ph, so if you have sensitive fish big water changes would result in what might be a stressfull change in ph for the fish. If its bothering you lots of small water changes will help clear the water without changing ph much.
