No stupid Q's. I have my pump on for 15 min then it take about another 5 min to fully drain. Tray is "flooded" for about 20 min.
Your just going to have to play around with pump time and how often. It all depends on how you have your tray filled.
Your plants ( some are thirstier than others) some like stronger nutrients. ect ect
