Do you have any type of mechanical filtration in your tank such as chemi pure or chemi zorb (carbon ) that usually gets the smells and dicoloration out of the water.

I just started to run a little bit of carbon in my tank about a week ago and thats wehn the amber color poped up

well then obviously take it out if you know the cause! :hilarious :hilarious

It might be the carbon wasn't rinsed off enough and you got some of the dust from the carbon in the water?
I'm not sure though.
