Bottle pressure is low, 10-20 psi.
Bubble count 60 per minute.
Effluent like a broken stream.

This is pretty conservative. I've never used a ph monitor.
Check your alk daily and increase the bubble count. I've never had to go above 90 bubbles per minute.
Couple other tips. Use coarse media in the main chamber. Not the fine media as it goes mushy. Consider adding a secondary chamber to offset low ph. I modified a TLF reactor and put fine media in there.
