Container newbie

Hello all, new to Tomatoville and loving it. A fantastic wealth of knowledge all about tomatoes. This will be our first year growing heirloom tomatoes. We have room for (4) 30 gallon smart pots. Started out by filling them with a good Foxfarm Ocean blend soil, Added 2 tablespoons of bone meal mixed into the top 2 inches and 6 tablespoons of Tomato Tone mixed into the planting hole. Watered them in yesterday and they already look "happy" being in their new home. Had a terrible time selecting just 4 varieties but here is what we ended up with:

Red Brandywine Landis RL
Green Zebra
Marianna's Peace
Black Krim

Planning to let them get settled a bit and give them a shot of Neptunes Harvest Fish and Seaweed. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
