When switching to deco tanks you should be able to see them and make sure you take the 50% and not the 100% tank at 21m. That's easier when they are below the sidemount tanks.
Left-lean / Right-rich, tanks are tagged and your buddy niet to give you a Ok, I as a extra have complete different regulators, so even in bad visibility or lost of torch in a dark place you can by touch know the difference between bottom gas, 50% and 80 %

Always deco stage at front and clipped to the bottom gas cylinders, to compensate when get positive.
Normally 3 AL 80cf for bottom gas and 1 AL 80cf, AL 40cf for deco
Cheers
 
I see that some are concerned with buoyant deco bottles, but they only will became buoyant when you use them on the end of the dive so it is not a concern during the bottom time part.
