I have read that ambient temp with LED in grow room, should be kept around 85. This has to do with leaf surface temp being lower than ambient air temps.

Rapid rooters work great. I have had much success with them. As far as the water goes... Get a ppm meter to check for hardness. A good RO system is recommended for Hydro because ammonia and chloramine kill alot of beneficial organic material in my opinion.
