Default PPS Pro Questions

Im new to the whole planted tank scene and wanting to try the PPS-Pro system but I have a few questions.

First a little about my tank: it is a 35 gallon hexagonal tank and has 72 watts of lighting. I currently only have one fish in the tank but am getting 12 RCS and 20 ramshorn snails to start my "cleanup crew" and then going to start adding more fish slowly over the next few weeks.

I have in the tank some petsmart sword plants, unsure of the exact sp, wisteria, a single crypt, tiger val, DHG, 2 unknown plants that I received in a plant package, 1 annubias and 1 wendolev java fern and soon to be Porto Vehlo and brazilian micro sword. A lot of different species but just a few of each so its not as packed as it sounds like.

My questions are as follows:

Is the solution invert safe?

What kind of bottle will be safe to mix the fertz in? i.e. just a water bottle or do I need a chemical resistant bottle?

Does the solution create pressure on the bottle when its sealed? I'd hate to have a soaking wet carpet one day.

Any other tips you can throw to a beginner?

Yes the fertz solution is invert safe. U need to used distilled or RO water to mix ur ferzt solution. For storing it I used the 1000ml I got from greenleafaquarium.com they are great and never had any problem with it. I had used pps pro before but I started to have some deficiency on my plants so now I use EI method solution.
