Setting up Calcium Reactor !!^^!!

I have a 50g Tank with 15g Sump. I am using K2R Cal Reactor with Aquariumplants.com Regulator. how many bubbles/sec and how fast should i let the output drip? I am currently setting it up for 1 bubble every 2 seconds. and drip 1/sec. Please give your suggestions.

Thanks,
K

2 sec per bubble and a drip one about 60 ml per min seems to work for low stocked tanks

nextlevel is correct. start there and keep measuring your parameters. if they get too high then you can decrease your bpm and output. too low, increase them a little at a time until you get them stabalized
