As many as you want pretty much.

Not really. It's quite easy.
Adding a valve for each tank is a good set up and is no problem.
Each tank can be dosed how ever much it needs.

I've been very happy with the Monolith Marine's 19$ valve. Got 8 on a ten
pound tank. Brass "T"'s cost 1$ ea or Home Depot. I set up another system
with 10 valves on a 50lb tank. Won't have to refill that one much:)
