Thanks foster dog - I will cover it over for a few days. The filter was washed in the clean treated water I used to replenish the tank when I did the partial change. I have turned the lights off so hopefully that will help. Once I uncover it should I do another partial water change or will the green colour have disappeared?

Thanks again.

Unfortunately you will have just washed away the good bacteria that may have been starting to form.Even treated water will destroy it,always use old tank water.

Yes as Fosterdog states,the tank will be too small for most fish.Please take a look at th website we suggested and ask away.We love helping new people get into fishkeeping and if done correctly from the off there will be no casualities and that is better for you and much better for the fish.

I just looked up the details on your tank, it's only 28 litres which is too small for any fish except a single siamese fighter or as a shrimp tank, what did you plan to keep in it?

Have a read of this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4915292

I was hoping for approx 6 small fish. Might have to have a rethink then.
