Howdy,
The right CO2 level is determined by your kH and your pH values. The optimal value can be found in an according table. Since I do not know your water parameters, I cannot give any recommendation. You can find those tables with a Google search "kH, pH, CO2" and look up the perfect CO2 level for your tank.
It also helps to monitor nitrate, phosphate and iron if you're into plant-keeping.
