2 way for you

1. left in your tank let the brown color be a part of it . But after a few WC the color should be lighter .

2. Take out the wood in other tub or container with the help of air pump (air stone) . Err this work on my dw last time color consider faster out and lesser brown if I place in my main tank . (any senior can advise if I m wrong) .

Will the brown colour make the water toxic?

The tint will actually soften and calm fish.... It will clear away after numerous water change over time.. Lighter as time goes.

Or u can try active carbon....

I have 2 dw and they still release tannings into the water after boiling for 2 days, however, my discus turn out to love the environment with the dw inside, especially my heckels which are more used to softer water and blackwater environment.

I have not tried active carbon but i may not be putting since my discus like the current water.
