You will need about a 2 inch air gap between the bottom of your net pots and your water level but you also will need enough solution in it to cover your water pump and air stones.

Yea and for real you need a 2inch air gap im running like 7 gallons in my res now id say it has like half an inch mabe a wee bit morebut not much more

That is what I do. Probably even more like 3" after the roots get larger. There might be some other people who don't use that large of a gap. It allows for more oxygen.

When plants are really young I will keep the water level higher until the roots start hitting the water then I start lowering it on down to 2".
