So, you aren't supposed to do alot of water changes for NPT's, but what about green water? The one I set up for my daughter gets to looking like pea soup in 1 week's times after 80% water changes. Am i just making things worse by adding so much 'fresh' water so often?
Do I just wait it out for a few months, or do I continue heavy water changes until the water stays clear of green water blooms? Since it's a natural set-up, I want to do the least artificial 'combat' possible. However, I'm not opposed to taing extreme measures if I have to.

Tank is a 12 gallon hex, 1.5" "loamy clay" soil substrate capped with .5 - .75" gravel, heavily planted, no floaters (might be my problem? ) , more fish than I'd feel comfortable putting in a non-planted tank (also may be a problem? - 6 Black Skirts, 4 adult Platy, 1 Bristlenose, 20+ platy fry, a dozen Blue Pearl shrimp, MANY tiny pond snails)
**NOTE: There are NO other algae issues AT ALL in this tank. Only Green Water.
