Optimal flow rate for Aquaclear DIY refugium?

I converted a Aquaclear 50 HOB filter in to a refugium for copepods. I have filled it all the way up with porous dry rock and was wondering what my flow rate should be? I have it to where it is at a steady drip. Is that to slow?

How did you get the flow so low? I don't know that it's too low, but I'd probably increase it some more (if that's possible).

I took the impeller out of the AQ20 and put it in the AQ 50. Than I set it to the lowest setting, but I left the intake tube just a tad bit up instead of pushing it all the way down to the pump. That way it allowed a small amount of water to escape to decrease the flow even more.
