Use a medium in your ebb&flow. Ebb/flow is actually meant to be used with medium. Rockwool+aquarium gravel+some sand is probably what you'd need, since drainage is important in ebb/flow. You don't want something that will hold too much water for any period of time.

While light probably won't hurt the roots, it will fuck with their growth and may cause reduced root growth.
