I want to set up my first hydro system, but befor i do I want to have everything on paper, ( blueprint) before I start the set-up.

The system below is what i'm planning. it's a 11 plant system using 2 liter bottles. I have a few ?'s.
1- What is the best medium for this system?
2-I'm thinking about using clay pebbles, are the clay pebbles fine or should I mix in perlite?
3- If I only use the clay pebbles, how many times a day should I flood the system and for how long?
4- If I would to use only perlite would the flooding times be different?
5- Are the 2 liter bottles large enough?

I know I'll have a lot more questions as things get going , but first I need to get the system set up correctly.

I did have a lot more ?'s but found a lot of my answers here. great place , My hat off to the admin and mods here. :thumbsup:
