Default brownish, brackish looking water

good morning all, hope everybody had a happy 4th. its been a few days since i finished up my second attempt at a NPT. the first day was great. i mean the water was crystal clear. then that night i turned on my HOB filter. the next morning the water turned this light brownish, biege looking color. at first i thought it was cloudy water. but its not bc i was so careful that there was no soil turbidity. i dont know what caused this. my friend says that it might be the tanin from the new driftwood i placed it the tank. but i did soak the driftwood for several hours prior to placing them in the tank. so i need everybody's expertise. what is the cause of the discoloration in my tank and more importantly how do i get the water to be crystal clear like it was that first day that i set up the tank
