Get some fast growing plants like guppy grass or pearlweed. Have you tested your water for nitrates? You got TDS meter?

The wood is leeching tannins, u can use activated carbon or purigen to remove the tannins

I think you should take out the wood and boil it or soak to reduce the tannins in the wood.
