If you just bought driftwood I agree that this is probably the cause. If you remove your driftwood and soak it in a bucket, you can change out the water until the wood is finished leaching its tannins.
Do another water change and place carbon in your filter. You'll be amazed at what carbon can do in 24 hours.
