@aamir & scorpio: hmm, but it still makes the new water yellowish..I googled it, it isnt harmful for the fishes, but till how many more days this will continue ??

Nick,
The problem is not with tanins but shall come once you change the water .. as this water with tannins is acdic and once you change water the PH will swing causing stress to fishes.

[SCORPIO]

pH will be sure swing.

@vikram & scorpio: What can be done to avoid this? shall I remove the wood, I googled and found it cause no negative affects

Rajeev already replied, you can keep changing the water frequently. Eventually your wood will season up and then it will stop this release.

Else you can take it out and dry it out for a period of more than 6 months or so and then try it back it.
