Dripping kalkawasser

[rabid frog]

I set up my new kalk dripping system(home made) I have it dripping about 1 drop per sec, I mixed up 2 gals of the kalk, about how long will this last? Is that enough of a drip? Thanks for the help in advance

I think you want one or two drops a minute but thats not speaking from experience. I personally wouldn't start dripping till i was sure about the drip count. As far as i know kalk is super concentrated and you can over dose....

hey kip thanks my kalk says 2 tsp per gal is that too much? The drip rate has slowed to about one drop every 20 sec, should I try to speed this up? It is gravity fed through an air line like yours so the drips progressively get slower right?

Isn't the drip rate 10 drops equals 1 ml?
