I'm sorry to say this but your math is really far out! You are using a 40% difference and you'll run out of Oceanic long before you run out of IO if you add it at that rate.

If you want them to run out together you need to use 4 parts of IO to every 5 parts of Oceanic.



If you want the math: You have a IO:Oceanic ratio of 160:200 divide the ratio by 10 to make it easier to work with and you have 16:20. Each part of the ratio can be divided by 4 leaving a ratio of 4:5. Therefore you need to use 4 parts IO to every 5 Parts Oceanic.

If you want that in percentages you have a 9 part solution (4+5) so you need:
For instant ocean:
4/9*100% = 44.4444%
For oceanic:
5/9*100% = 55.5556%
