I have seen that setup before at a studio and when I asked if they ever turned off the valve on the tank they said why? I left.
Actually at 70° f. pressure is only about 110psi.... Still a lot but lets not add to the problem with exaggerated values....

IF outside temp reach a whopping 110° yes pressures are above 200psi...
