Ok all you experts, how much more work is a large tank compared to a small tank?

Let's say that I am willing to automate things. I would imagine water changes would be a big deal in a larger tank compared to my 26 gallon, so there's that.

Right now, for a 26 gallon AIO with plumbed UV, I spend a about 1-2 hours a week on required maintenance. That includes:
3.5x/week - feed, scrape glass if needed
1x/week - empty skimmate, make RODI, refill ATO, check additive level, replace filter floss, empty auto-tester waste, refill auto-tester RODI, check auto-tester reagent levels.
1x/month 4 gallon water change. Maybe.

That's honestly not much. If I am willing to automate, how much time would, say, a 200 gallon tank take comparatively? I have a great spot for an IM 200EXT Peninsula...
I've said it before and I'll say it again... keep the tank glass or acrylic thickness in mind. 1 " magnets are expensive. Mp60s vs mp40s. Xr30s vs xr15s... etc... look up frag racks for 1" glass.
