Yes gravel in the top, But You can Use almost anything You want for grow media. provided You sprout Your seeds elsewhere before putting them in the system. Once the setup matures Your cycle shouldn't fluctuate too much, as long as You continue to maintain Your bacteria colony. This can be done by feeding more than necessary, Or adding a few goldfish as dithers once You began to harvest. The key is striking a balance without reaching max capacity. that way You allow room for lack of a better term: error. leaf lettuce is great, basil, thyme or even a tomato plant would be good also although you would have lighting issues to address. But if You want to go with something that requires less work. You can go with pothos, ferns and various other houseplants. there are a ton of low light plants to choose from.Yes i plan to eat them! So my cycle would be fudged up after I took them out.
