Do vacuum with water changes, but do not vacuum while the tank is cycling.

Glad to hear they're all doing well!
 
Tank update!

Okay, I just did a water change (about 20% as I was getting water everywhere!). I then tested the water for the second time and this is what i got:

pH = 7.6 (same as last time)

ammonia = 2.4 (higher than last time)

NitrIte = 0.1 (same as last time)

NitrAte = less than 5 ppm (same as last time)

I vacuumed a little bit but there is still a ton of fish poo in the gravel. I hope that is okay :? So is my tank cycling like it should be? It seems as though things are going rather slow.

thanks! :D
