Good luck Nigel, getting a good balance is not easy but once you have grasped how it all works it will seem much easier to understand .
As much as folk try to help and pass on their own experiences, at the end of the day every tank is going to require its own ideal settings and there is only one way find that out.
Obviously it would be far better if you did not have live stock but if you just go slowly with small adjustments you (or your fish) should be fine.
