The green is water born algae. Algae is natures creation that is designed to clean up water. Whenever there is a supply of light and plant food and water combined, algae will form to clean up and make use of the plant food and light. In a fish tank it indicates there is either too much light, too much food (CO2 and N. P. K.) or a combination of both so nature is trying to clean it up. Firstly you could try cutting down on the amount of light or the length of time there is light or both. You could also add water plants to go into competition with the algae for the light and food. You may find it necessary to strip the tank down and start again from scratch if the algae has too great a hold over things.

Do you stop first if the traffic light is red with a green arrow?
If you are in the turn lane and are going to turn, then you don't need to stop, but you should look both ways first to make sure that no one is coming at you. If you aren't in the turn lane and you are going to continue going straight, then you need to stop and wait until the light turns green. NOTE: I'm assuming you are asking about driving in the United States. If you are not, this may not be correct
