ok, a few suggestions from personal experience with tiny container (sour cream, the smaller one).
i went medium-less. cut a 3" hole in the lid, used a pool noodle disc instead of a neoprene one. space was an issue, and i had more grow space by doing that.
the roots will grow in DWC fierce. it displaces a lot of the solution, so it makes increased space in the container important. the rwdc nature mitigates this. i tried both, i liked the simplicity of non rwdc and regular root trimming in the middle. if it got too solid, then the middle suffered because there was no water circulation.
my rwdc method used a rubbermaid tub, but i'd use a 5gal bucket were i to do it again.
perforated lid, containers on top. notches cut into the rim of the container (overflow), and just pumped water into them all, it poured out of the notches, waterfalled into the res. didn't need airstones. the agitation of a airstone in a small space kinda kept roots form developing there above the stones, which kept more space for nutrient flow. i lost this advantage with only rdwc. i had to trim more.
uhm, maybe i can find a picture, but it's not really more descriptive than this overlong description.
it was a single 13watt cfl in a speaker, 6" woofer bookshelf. fun.
