hey everyone just want to know whats the general rule of thumb for bubble count and drip rate, lately i have had trouble keeping my reading on the ph gauge at 6.5 it always rises to 6.7, im tuning at the moment to see what happens but if someone out there has a calcium reactor running at a good 6.5 can you let me know what is your bubble count and drip rate thanks.
 
It really depends on the size of the aquarium and the amount it is consuming live rock and coarls and clams etc. Also Larger Media dissolver at a different PH than Smaller media.

This Link below is a good tool to tune it in it requires that you first test the alk of the tank.

Leave the reactor as it is for 48 Hours. Test the Aquarium Alk Again and this time also the drip rate and the Effluent Alk.

Then It Calculates where it needs to be adjusted to get it tuned in to your tank.
You should use a stop watch and a large measuring and make sure to write it down so you won't forget.
