Why would the plants discolor the water? It IS the driftwood leaching tannins into the water. Soaking it longer may work, but sometimes some wood will never stop leaching. You mention no chemical filtration. Do a small water exchange (<100%!!) and find a way to get some activated carbon into the filtration system.

Some more advice: do your animals a favor and separate the newts and the frogs. Get rid of the snails, they can serve as an intermediate host for parasites.
