Go with the activated carbon. What you see is Gelbstoff, Geman for "yellow stuff", which is from humic acid buidup in the water. Carbon readily removes it.

weekly 10-15 % water changes with aged saltwater
CARBON----go to LFS and get one of those 3 packs of a carbon or CHEMIPURE run each one for 5 days and discard and add a new one until the water is clear keep up water changes and use carbon bi weekly for 4 days after this |
