it is "feeling" to me like the drop to one filter *may* have been the cause of the delay but then again I did chuck a pile more potassium bicarb in the mix

I think that's probably what did it - the filter stop.

just need to keep feeding it till it gets delivered now :)

As I said previously the nice thing is it "almost" coped with just the one filter on what (I believe) is a relatively high ammonia loading (targetting 2ppm) which says too me that with around 9 guppies in the whole thing should be just fine filtration wise overall.

It'll be fine. :)
You might even manage double figures, male guppies aren't very big really......
