    Ok, I redid the whole tank. I put a layer of gravel, a layer of hydroballs on top of that, a weed barrier, then plantation soil. On top of the soil I put moss. The whole water feature is surrounded by the weed barrier to prevent dirt from falling in. Everything looked great yesterday. Today there is brown water again. I am working on getting a picture to post. I have not figured out how to do it yet. This is really starting to annoy me.

    Is the plantation soil coming into contact with the water? That stuff will turn water brown! Hope this helps. Its hard to say without a pic.

    The soil is not near the water. It is separated from the water by a weed barrier. It seems like it is clearing up. It is just a really light brown. Is it okay for the frogs? Here is a photo. It is sideways for some reason. I need to build up. Any suggestions?
