Thank you for your kind words it's much appreciated.
Yes I'm doing OK considering. I'm just trying to keep busy.
As for the tank I'm looking for some advice regarding the cycle, I was clearing my ammonia every 24 hours and my nitrite was a out 4ppm + . Last night after checking I noticed that there was a little bit of ammonia still showing even after 24 hours.
I checked today and there's still ammonia showing not much as such about 1ish ppm but no nitrite at all.
Any advice on this please

I would do a water change to replenish the KH and then top up the ammonia to 2ppm.

You can do.
Pre-mix it with tank water before adding back to the tank.
The stable level to maintain the pH is 4dKH.
5ml (teaspoon) of whichever bicarbonate will increase the dKH by 1 in 200L of water.
