Don't do soil in a recirculating system. Is your system like this one right here? If so, you could do coco or hydroton, or I think you could do perlite (but I don't know if I would recommend that). I'm sure there's a few other mediums you could use, but those are the most popular ones.
I MAY be wrong, you might be able to do soil in those pots. I've never really seen anyone doing that in a system like that, but it may be doable. I'm not sure about having it as a "recirculating" system though. I would think that the soil would leave a lot of particles in your nutrient water, and that could clog things in your system. Drip lines like those are really easy to clog, and its easy to miss something like that until your plant is suffering for it... I would rather do it drain to waste than recirc.
