Another option- my preference for a tank that size is to use the dry ferts to mix up your own liquid solutions. Then you can use something like a shot glass to dose your ferts which is much more accurate then those fractional spoons. The other alternative is using a miligram scale to weigh each dry fert dose which I found to be a PITA.

For mixing your own liquid solutions get a few gallon jugs of distilled water and make up a whole gallon of each at a time. Then get some 500ml lab equipment wash bottles for easy dispensing.

That method is working like a champ for me anyway.
