Hi Jkell, you have seen my flood and drain system. I know it is not quite the same as a table, but I faced a similar problem. I started out watering twice a day flooding the system (dwell time) for about five minutes. I just kept checking the underside to see how long the roots and hydroton were staying damp, was there new growth, and any signs of plant over/underwatering, root-rot etc. It was kind of scary but once you keep an eye on it for a while you can start to gage when to increase watering frequency and dwell time. I am up to watering every two hours with a dwell time of seven minutes and the plants are drinking about a gallon of water every 1.5-2 days. I don't water in the dark period though (I dunno, just read it somewhere) but I do start my first water 1/2hr before the light turns on in the morning so the plants are well fed.
The best sign is that the plants will get a little droopy when thirsty. You just gotta keep a good eye on them with the lamps because they can fry really fast. I always check on them a couple times a day.
