Eh, for a tank that size with that much lighting you would be much better off going pressurized.

Thats a big tank for DIY. I have a 29 DIY and have a hard time getting enough levels. If I had the money I would go pressurized.

Same here...I needed 3 bottles on my 30 gallon to keep it consistent.

A much more reliable method is a drop checker with a 4 dkh solution. It will show green when the target level is reached.
