well, there are more variables at play.. are you diving Steel Tanks? 30 pounds should be enough provided you are no overweighted with lead.

al 80 most likely at this time. I do plan on moving up to steel when i buy my own but thats still a few away. i do plan on going to a bp/w but what i have will have to do for now .

It should be enough. I think you will need to use 10lbs in trim pockets and some ditchable weights as well (probably 5+5 to start).
