Depends....is that rate enough to match your evaporation? And is your PH steady?

As pk1 said it depends,

I drip at about one drop per second as well on my 90 and I'm able to maintain good calcium 450, Dkh 9, and pH 8.3 levels consistently. My sumps water level stays the same at this drip rate. You'll have to judge for yourself and see. For me it was through trial and error.

the ph is good...but i evap about a gal every 3 days ...the cal is about 400 ....i guess ill have to see if its good enough...

well maybe more than a gal every three days...its more like a gal every day and a half
