Who drips Kalk and how fast.

So i setup a dripper lastnight. I was wondering what the rate of drips everyone does with it.
I have mine dripping once every 3sec or so.

I drip roughly 3 a second in my 55G

Most all the books that describe dripping Kalk tell us to use it to replace evaporated water from the tank. With that info, everyones drip rate will vary. If you find your sump full... too much. If you find it going down, too slow. I personally don't drip Kalk (but I may to help improve my current pH issue... I have high CO2 in my house and am bubbling outside air into the house [into the tank] to help bring CO2 down and pH back up).

It seems to work well for mine at three a sec. I drip over night and in the morning. That is just right for mine to account for evaporation. It keeps my tank full.

i drip once ever 3 sec or so too and it is enough to keep my 90 steady and i drip it constantly so that slower rates works for me
