Water color

Hi, I have had my FBN set-up for a while now, and the water has been crystal clear. I have not changed harldy anything at all, but all the sudden the water color is getting real murkey. Even after I do half or even full water changes, it goes right back to murkey. Any ideas!? This is probably an un-aswerable question. But any info would help.
 
I find that after I do water changes (not in my newt tank but in my axolotl tank) there's a bacterial bloom which covers every thing. Do you have any wood in there because if not treated properly (boiled) it leaks a reddish/ brownish colour into the water.
 
I so have wood in there, but it has been in there a while, and has never caused me trouble before. But I will treate it tonight. Thanks

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
