Bubbleponics Grow Setup HELP!!!!!!

Hey everyone this is my first bubbleponic setup, grown under a 400w MH/HPS lamp with plenty of ventilation. I was wondering if you guys could help me out with any suggestions, seeing as how I will be starting a grow journal when my seeds come in, I have 3 different strains, Master Kush (Nirvana), Jock Horror (Nirvana), and California Orange feminized (attitude). The seeds are in the mail and hopefully they will arrive in a timely fashion. The tank is a 10 gallon reservoir which Im assuming to put 8 gallons of nutrient/water mix in. I have 2 of these 10 gallon tanks which will be setup with 2 airstones apiece connected to a 20-60 gallon double output air pump. Each tank will have a water pump to drip feed the plants 3x a day for 15 mins each. Hydroton of course along with rockwool cubes (seeds started in Super Starter plugs). The first pic is the top of the tank with lid on including the air pump with only one air hose connected, of course I will connect the other one and use two bubble stones per tank. I was wondering if the water pump/drip system needs to keep feeding even after the roots hit the water and start to explode. Also, is it ok to have 3 plants per tank, or if it is too much crowding. Also is my air pump supposed to run 24/7, and if the air pump is large enough for my tanks. The first pic includes small black X's where I will be putting my holes for the net pots. The other pics include inside tank shots of one of the bubble stones, other is currently soaking, where I will connecting them. Also includes pics of the Drain I will be using to drain and refill my tank weekly with fresh water and nutrients. I am using Dutch Master Gold Grow A & B, Flower A & B, Dutch Master Max, and Thrive Alive formula for more root development. Please comment, and help me out guys. THNKS ACG

P.S. Im thinkin of puttin on a Scrog type of Grow thanks to The scrog man himself, cant seem to remember his name but he is awesome nontheless. Any help with putting in a scrog would help me out SOOOOOOOO MUCH, please comment on that too

The GreenMonster714 from GrassCity forums is my inspiration for this reservoir tank/bubbleponic set up.

I did the same with 4 strains. I won't do that again. They all needed different amounts of nutes and different proportions of nutes. I have 2 purple strains in the same tray and only one is really happy with the nutes. So from now on I will only plant the same strains in a tray.

Yes you keep on feeding. Just keep an eye on them and adjust watering amounts and times as needed.
