What are they for? You want to keep the water as cool as you can get it 68f is about as good as it gets for hydro growing that will hold a lot of oxygen. The warmer the water gets the less oxygen it can hold. FYI

Those pots will not allow much mosture through you should get some net pots to do this right. They only cost about a buck and are easy to get.

I got my grow on GH 3 part nutes this time and there is a chart in the faq's section. I got b-52 for b-1 vitamins, cal-mag plus. a little h2o2, bud blood, then big bud to finish. You will need some PH up and down. You might want way more air stones, you need enough bubbles so you can't see the bottom of the tub. You will also need some good water RO or distilled is best. 10, 1000hps lights that's a good electric bill. I would have gone with a drip system but that's just me, bubblers work too.
