I put in about 500ml of ice everyday. Need to remove the water daily as ice adds in additional water
That's what I figured, with plants that small they aren't drinking much water yet. So I figured you would have the opposite problem. Instead of loosing water through evaporation, you would have excess water building up because the plants aren't big enough to drink up as much as you add back in ice daily. So I'm confused as to why you would want to cover the openings with the Styrofoam to try and block evaporation? I don't think it will hurt anything, but I don't see it helping anything either.

I'm currently working on a new article for the website about the importance of the nutrient solution temperature titled "Your Nutrient Solution Temperature is Important" that I expect to be done with in a few days. I'll post a link to it for you if you want.
