Does the drift wood colour your water yellow? I had that problem and got rid of the wood...would like to have kept it in....

Not really, that type of driftwood is o.k, especially in such a big tank. Malaysian driftwood tans the water though, avoid that. I've heard of people who boil the wood for a while before they put it into their tanks.
