I added the Bogwood after only about 2.5 weeks soaking, I have been running Carbon in the filter anyway and can't see any discolouration of the water, my levels seem spot on, as close to 0/0 for Ammonia/Nitrite as my test strips can show and pretty low Nitrate levels thanks to fairly regular water changes, need to do a few changes in my other tank as the nitrate levels are a little high in there at the moment.

Went out and bought a Fluval 305 canister filter and a spray bar today to try and get the water moving a bit better in the tropical tank, going to run that and the 205 together.

I added 8 Neon tetras a couple of weeks ago and 2 tiny ones died, don't think they were very healthy anyway but the rest seem fine, so I've just added 8 male guppies today and they are adjusting gradually.
