Well if you can post a pic of the setup so we know what your working with. Most hydro watering is 15 min on 4 times a day. Alot of aeroponics run non stop. And if your in a 5 gallon bucket you will need good air sence water is going to be on the bottom like DWC. So to answer your questions we need a better idea of what the full setup is.

Typically most aero gardens run 5 min on 1 min off for maxium aeration then see how your plants like it and adjust your time as needed just be very cautious your water temp don't get to high from such a small res and pump
