For those of you that dose two part, how long do you run your dosing pumps for at a time? I have to run for a total of 70 minutes a day and have it broken into six 12 minute evenly spaced intervals with the cal and alk two hours apart. I was doing two 35 minute intervals two times a day but nothing seemed to like it like that and everything is responding better to the smaller more frequent intervals.
 
I would say that a frequent and small as possible is best, this keeps your aquarium more stable and you'll have less precipitation issues. As far as how long, the duration depends on how much you need to dose.

My Litermeter III does 150 doses per day. So it takes whatever you program in and splits it up.
