New to large tanks: Ideas for 210 gallon freshwater

Thanks for the info really great...Bring up another question for me though. Where do i get a source of ammonia if i have nothing to produce it...I know its commonly used in cleaning products but i know there is no way those are safe for any kind of aquarium use.

You can buy pure ammonia, Ace hardware stores should still be stocking it. Just read the label to make sure there are no additives. You can also shake up the bottle. If there is excessive bubbles, don't buy it. If there is just a few, it should be OK.

Sometimes you can find pure ammonia labeled as ammonia hydroxide.
