    Just a quike Q. I have a piece of driftwood in my tank and running carbon at the moment to get rid of the yelloish colour.
    Do I need to remove it when I'm dozing the ferts and for how long do I have to remove it for the ferts to work?

    Not necessary to remove carbon.

    the yellow colour is tannin ...... its good for ur fish..... if you want to take it away u can filter with purigen...... it takes out the tannin. or u can put the wood in boiling water for a week and then let it dry in the sun...... that shud do the trick :) hope this helps
