Waer 6 Pod Bubblepot sytem (built by proffesional)

Ok so i have the above mentioned system, comes with all you need pots are 15lts per peice(5 gls i think) and the Resivor is 100ltr. It also comes with a 550lt per hr air pump, 6 airstones and all the pipe, airline and conncetions you need.

So i got it set up no problmes, (6 was too big for my space if i wanted to be able to move in there so i reduced to 4). I had to build the float from the parts which again was no problem, the problem is the water in the pots and head tank only fill maybe 2/3 or the way full. leaving at least 6 inc between the next pots and the water.

I spoke to the fella in the shop, and told him my problem, he said he will send me a 1500lt per hr pump and 4 bigger, pond style air stones, Hopefull this will crated enough splash for the water to reach the next pots. Additionaly i can top up the pots manualy to get water level higher if need be.

My main question is i have sorta decided that this system isnt great for plants under 2 weeks old, I was thinking start the seeds in a propagation tank in some rockwool, then when the root starts to bust through the rockwool, transplant into the DWC.

If i choose to do this would a tank and rockwool be all i need to get, or am i making things to complictaed.

This is my first hydro grow and although i have grown with vemiculate and perlite before never with anything that envolved this much water. better just mention i use Feminized seeds so i dont need to worry about sex.
