I would be worried about smell and vibrations and noise levels in an apartment for sure. .you can try to hang the air pumps to help damper noise and vibrations, or have seen box like "holders" with foam and other sound damping materials.
A "top off" tank and storage tank for water is ideal. Using float switches to control levels. As far as size, I like to suggest twice what your system holds or at least as much as your system holds. You need enough water on hand to be able to completely flush the system and refill. A little extra does not hurt. The size of top off tanks and storage tanks also depends on how automated do you want the system to be?
You can top off the system by hand avoiding the need for top off and storage but it is really better if the water level stays constant IMO.
As far as if your tap water will work, I would suggest you get a analysis done so you can see what your working with. I know you said it was 200PPM but 200PPM of what? Whats the PH?
Ro water is always easier and better to work with as you have complete control but your tap should be workable. Main thing you need to know is how much calcium and magnesium is in it and what the total alkalinity number is (TA). Other things to consider is what is added to the water by the city or town? Chlorine? Water softeners? ..ect.
Interested to see what you can pull with those LED's! Some bad ass units on the market these days and the tech just keeps getting better and better!
Good luck!
You don't need the dampers. All you need to do is keep light from entering the room.. Dampers are more for controlling multi rooms using one air supply, the dampers would close when it doesn't need to air handle one room. I use them for my 5 ton, it controls three rooms by using dampers and a control board.. i just use vent cover in my room with insolated ducting comming through the dark room.. I have 6+ft of ducting and have no issue with my room pushing or pulling air as needed. I ran passive for years.. Being on a top floor apt it would be a good idea to seal the floor of the room with pond liner or something simular, be sure to go up the walls a foot or so... accidents do happen and an outer pond would keep an accident in your room and not to your neighbors ceiling.. keep all electrical plugs up off the ground along with your airpumps. Just some thoughts.. best of luck, I'll be in on this one.. I like watching projects turn to beauty...

No offense but i think you need to invest in a few crucial books. A lil reading goes a long way.

6' tall plants under LED? 1000w HPS can only penetrate 24" before the nugs start to get larfy and unsellable.
Confidence in technology and unrealistic expectations are two different things.
I'm locked in to be proven horribly wrong in a few months.

Did they have vertical or horizontal lighting? Did they bare fruit all the way down?
The UC is also sold for outdoor and greenhouse growers who can get 6' tall tomato plants no problem.
Anyhow you don't have to worry about hitting 6' tall if you're only vegging to 18" tall. They'll end up being 3-4' tall.
