For my tanks roughly 50-60. But then I have floating breeders everywhere and brine shrimp hatching. My friend said they lost pressure around 60 drops. My room being so large if I ever want more tanks I’ll need it. I figure since it’s a build do it right the first time rather than try to add 

I would do the same thing that way you will always have plenty of air.

Worst case if you don't need the air now just cap it and add it back later.  I put upgrades in my wall for later knowing I will need it when I was renovating.

This is looking great! Are you building in auto water change or still going to use siphon hoses to drain and refill tanks?

I already use a pump in/out system not auto though. I do not like the overflow change method.  If I had the $ I would do an auto system where each tank was controlled by valve and could be done separately. I breed some very soft water fish, some very hard and some brackish. 
Im old and retired. My hobby is supposed to consume time. 
In younger years when I was working though I would have loved to have the disposable $ to do an auto change.

This is the only stand I’m having built. My friend made this. 🤗

It holds 2-20 longs and 4 -15 g or 6-15 g or any combo of them I will need for different tanks. 
 

I was going to do a growout rack but decided it’s much easier on me to do a grow out below each of my display /breeding tanks.  
 

I spend a lot of time with baby tanks and when netting 100 baby fish out of a tank to sell I get to sit on the floor to do it.  When collecting eggs, netting fry from a parent tank or relocating egg scatterers to pollute a breeder tank with eggs I just drop them into the tank right below.

I was just wondering if that was a paint spatter turned into a crime scene?
