Thanks very much for that Simon. Guess I'll just leave it alone then )

Cheers,

Don't replace the water! Tap water will go green. If you leave it
alone it'll clear up by itself (variable time, just be patient) Google
for plenty of info about this, but if you replace the water then
/that/ will bloom because it'll have higher nitrates.
