Looking good. Here are a few tips:
  • You might benefit from wrapping or painting the white buckets to black. This will help prevent light from getting to he roots.
  • The foil isn't really needed on the tubes
  • Very important - you need to have your air pump above the water line. If you turn your pump off as-is, you stand the chance of siphoning water back into your pump. This will not only ruin your pump, but you'd end up with some flooding as well.
  • Use a white sheet on the floor, instead of black. This might help keep the heat down, if it becomes a problem. This would only help while the plants aren't big enough to cast a shadow on the floor
  • It doesn't look like you have a drain on your buckets. You might want to invest in a shop vac, if you don't have one so you can suck all the water up and drain it somewhere else.

Good luck :)

The tubes are clear didnt want light hitting the water
 
Looking good, I notice you have some ph Up, is the tap water ph too low where you live, because you can always just add more tap water, just curious mate...
