I set up another 10g tank and experimenting with CO2 and root tabs. I used six tabs as directed on the back. I added these a couple days ago. This morning when I went to turn the light on, I noticed my water has a brownish tinge to it. Just curious if this is a normal thing and how long does it stay this way?

Thx
 
6 tabs is too much. What kind of filter do you have UG??? (I hope not).
 
regular hob filter...no carbon. Here are the directions:

Directions for use: Use one tab for every 30 square inches (194 sq cm) of gravel surface. Push midway into gravel bed. (A standard 10 gallon (38 L) aquarium requires 6 tablets.) Add new tablets monthly for optimum plant growth.
 
Using sand and it is between 1-2". no driftwood either. just sand and plants.
 
hmmm...interesting. will this pose any problems other than the tinting of the water until i add some more to it?
