Congrats guys!

Over time i think the only minor challenges you'll have with the water culture is with nutrients, pH and oxygen.. so 1) make sure you start to give it a little balanced fertiliser at an approprite ppm rate, 2) make sure the pH stays in an acceptable range so that it can take up all those nutrients and 3) Either let algae grow to oxygenate the water, or refresh the water every couple of weeks/months.

Each of those problems will only show up long-term, but once they do, they're difficult to reverse quickly. So just be mindful from the beginning.
