Default Choosing a retifier

I am new to this board, and new to plating as well. I run a stained glass studio and am planning to install a copper plating station to copper plate our leaded glass lamps prior to applying patina. We're looking to install an 80 gallon plating tank. What size/kind of rectifier should we be looking for? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to consider the largest item that you will be plating, then purchase a rectifier that will output enough power. Copper plating needs 1 amp for 15 sq in area.
