Thanks for the extra advice fishgeek
best is to by the ammonia,
yes, but ....
Quote from post by Merrilyn: The problem with cloudy ammonia is that it has detergent in it, and we sure don't need that in the tank.....Clear ammonia has been harder and harder to find over the last couple of years. Seems it's an ingredient in bombs or something.
and
Quote from post by Samir : cloudy does not work
So it seems ammonia is out as an option . I even have to sign & give a photocopy of my drivers licence to supplier of my dry ferts (seems they are also an ingredient in bomb making). Yes, I know I owe you pics - but a bit hard since I'm still waiting .... waiting .... waiting for the tank to be delivered. For now, pics of the cabinet (prev post) will have to do LOL, sorry.

I reckon they'll be fine TW. The filters should have some capacity to biologically filter once they are hooked up and as Andrew said, it's a fairly big tank so your fish load might not make that much of an ammonia dent. Note: "might"
Maybe some pics of your little Lori will have to do until the tank arrives.

Not much as yet, but here is a pic of how I think I will be laying this out. As the layout suggests, there will be two planted sections & a beach section in the middle & across the front.
The driftwood is bigger than I thought & doesn't fit laying down & I don't want to cut/break it, so at least at the beginning, this is how I think I will have it. I hope it will look nice when there are anubias on the lower sections. I won't be using any moss, as I don't really like it. I have a smaller & lower piece of driftwood for the right side planted section, but it's still in the current discuss setup, so not shown here.
The rock border will be mainly covered in substrate, so won't be too prominent I hope.

albatrozz, there's not so many olives - that's why my daughter chose Butch - to be a bit different . I know of a 2yr old olive rainbow for sale at a local pet store, if you're interested.
I have never even seen one before, what a beautiful bird!!
I won't argue there, Hollowman LOL

I can tell you know them, Bald_noggin. That's what makes them such fun pets - keep you smiling, don't they!

Layout looks great Robyn, can't wait to see it once you've laid the substrate and planted the plants. 7 foot certainly is HUGE..!!!
