drips. how many per minute depends on your tank size, the calc reactor (media, pumps, co2 setup), calcium requirements of your tank inhabitants, etc. It's a trial and error thing. Start low, at 20 or 30 and then start measuring calc levels in your tank, and watch your PH.
Is it connected to a pH controller that will shut it on and off?
