Looking for a "drip per sec" to "Gallon per hour" formula or calc

[Mctabish]

I am hooking up a CA reactor, and it says to have the outlet flow set to 1-2
drops a second. What would this calc to oz per hour or gallons per hour? How
much is a "drop"?

Thanks,
Mc

Depending on who you talk to one ml is between 15-25 drops. Really it
depends on the item that is dripping it (different sized drops). The
pipettes used in most science labs are calibrated for 20 drops per ml, and
this is the number most people use. Then 30 ml=1 ounce or 3785 ml=1 gallon,
Hope that helps!

I don't have a formula, but I've been running a reactor for
about 1.5 months now. I've heard some aim for 50ml per
hour. I was running about 60 drops per minute, but I've
increased that output slightly on my 280g reef.

I might have just set everything up correctly on my first
try though. ;)
