How long should I run CO2 for in my planted tank?
At 1 bps
I'm also running a air stone. Is that a good or bad idea?

No such thing as liquid co2. You mean carbon. Air stone doesnt matter there. Although there is no need for it except for aesthetics.
Some surface agitation is ok..too much not good. It's something youll have to play with. Watching tank inhabitants/plants, drop checker and bubble counter.
If thats your main filter...I wouldnt
What would you suggest mate?
Post a fts. Are you having trouble holding ppm?
Could do a few things. Get a canister filter and use that for co2. Or get a diffuser with current setup. You would just need to run more bps due to surface aeration from the HON filter.
Sorry mate, I don't test my water parameters. Dunno if that's cruel but I've never had any need for it for the past 15 yrs. But I added CO2 to my tank only a couple of days back. I'll be buying a test kit soon.
