But would this make my water so green overnight????

Here's a standard trick when raising fry in an aquarium: take one glass
bottle, boil a small piece of lettuce for just a few seconds, put the
lettuce in the bottle, fill the bottle with water. Leave in a sunny
window. It'll probably turn green in a day, at most two days.

So, I guess the plants you added, if they had any damaged foliage, might
have sped up the process, but you'd get green water anyway.
