30ppm is considered the maximum, 15ppm is a good range for low to medium lit tanks. Above 40ppm we start to worry… The first 24 hours are key, once set, you rarely need to test a pressurized setup, while a DIY bottle should be checked weekly.
Thank you for the note, I should have added that link to my prior post.
