Bubbleponics is a fairly recently coined word and it means different things to different people. But all sytems that use bubbles require them 24/7. Different systems rely on them to different degrees, but most would agree the more the better. Several large airstones and a high power pump produce all the bubbles you could want. A lot of it has to do with setting it up right for your need and maintaining the airstones and replacing them when needed.
 
so run 2 pumps 12/12 alternating them so u dont run one too hard?

No, just run the one air pump 24/7. My first grow I had the pump on the same 18/6 cycle as the lights and the plants didn't die. But I agree that the extra oxygen in the water from the pump running all the time makes for happy roots/plants.
