So im finally setting up my Kalk Drip ... have a RENA air pump hooked up to a milk jug with a line running to the tank. As the pump pressurizes the jug it pushes water up the tube and into to the tank. My pump is run via the ACIII and turns on when the lights go out and also will turn off should the pH go above 8.3
The kalk is dripped into into the return section and the pH probe is in the middle of the sump by the skimmer so it will have more than enough time to mix so the readings arent skewed.
The only thing Im trying to figure out is drip rate. How fast should this drip in?
Tank is a 75g with a 29g sump --- looking mainly to keep pH up/steady since my Cal/Alk demand is fairly low (loose approx 1 dKH every 2 days)
