Water color

[mark]

Hi, I have had my FBN set-up for a while now, and the water has been crystal clear. I have not changed harldy anything at all, but all the sudden the water color is getting real murkey. Even after I do half or even full water changes, it goes right back to murkey. Any ideas!? This is probably an un-aswerable question. But any info would help.

I find that after I do water changes (not in my newt tank but in my axolotl tank) there's a bacterial bloom which covers every thing. Do you have any wood in there because if not treated properly (boiled) it leaks a reddish/ brownish colour into the water.

I so have wood in there, but it has been in there a while, and has never caused me trouble before. But I will treate it tonight. Thanks
