I would go for the biggest nute tank you can afford/find because I learned the hard way that the more nutes you have the more stable everything is like PH and most importantly the temps of the nutes. When we finally got heat last summer, it packed a punch and I think the only reason most of my plants survived was due to the nutes heating up slower then the outside temp. I was able to throw some frozen 2 liter bottles in there mid-day and that kept the nutes below 85 when it was over 100*. I used a plastic 50 gal barrel and 2 water stocktanks that were 50 and 55 gals that were shadded all day. I am currently looking for a 275 gal tote but they are hard to find in my area.
