one problem to quantify 30 bubbles per minuit you have to also state a effulent flow.

I started mine at 60 bubbles per min with a effulent flow of 100 ml/min but this will also depend on tank size.. if you want to start at 30 bubbles per min I would sugest starting with a efulent flow of 50ml/min and then adjust your effulent flow to set your PH. this will alow you to have ahigher flow for a Ca demand heavy tank. and after you get that set you can play with both to fine tune it.
