Hey, thanks for all the input guys. I have just been planning one day ahead of a res change, filling a new set of buckets and waiting a day to pH and nute. It's not like it's that much of a hassle, but as a newb, I get impatient.
So, this is day 13 (about Week 2) since I dunked my seeds. In light of the bright green indications pointed out by you helpful folks, I prepped new reservoirs for all plants by adding .5mL of Micro, Bloom and Grow from GH (I generally use their website calculator, which indicates seedlings should have 1.5mL per gal (I use 3 gal of water) - I don't usually nute my sprouts at this age, and I don't consider them to be seedlings yet. The nutrient balance I used was nearly negligible and didn't even register on my truncheon (minimum read is at 140ppm or .2 EC at 700x). I'm not sure this will supplement the water enough at this stage, but I'd rather take it slow - I've already fucked up enough grows, I'm ready to pull something good out of this setup. Slow and steady wins the war...hopefully.
Time had come to face the beast, the Medusa of an air system I have setup inside this tent. I was smart this time though (and I say this time, because it definitely took learning from my mistakes to figure it out), and I measured twice before I cut, so to speak. I made sure that all of my airlines were at workable lengths - very important in small spaces to ensure that you have enough flexibility to get these damn buckets swapped out. Okay, some pics. Peace.
I also switched out my shitty 8" oscillators and purchased a tower fan with speed control. I like the nice even blade of breeze it provides at opposed to the focussed twirl of the round fans.

). The little girl gets what the big ones got last time: 4.5 mL of Micro, Grow, and Bloom, which puts out around 420ppm (
), my favorite reading for obvious reasons.
