Step 1:
Fill the tank with waters and nutrients as indicated on the scheme of your nutrient. An EC meter is very useful.
Step 2:
Connect the water pump with the irrigation system through the tray.
Step 3:
Fill the tray with hydrokorrels and place rockwool cubes previously propagated.
Step 4:
Start the system setting the timer for 15 minutes of irrigation every 2-3 hours and 15 minutes of irrigation in the middle of the dark period.
Step 5:
Set the timer on 18 hours of light per day.
Step 6:
Check the pH values of your grow kit and, if necessary, correct the value with pH- or pH+ corrector.

Check the EC values of your grow kit and, if necessary, correct the value adding nutrients or diluting with water.

@Mikkau – for a natural Rockwool the pH level is 7.0. Glad that you asked since any misinformation misunderstanding over the pH is an important issue; that I think needs to be addressed with a greater depth. Check out what the famous hydroponic growing expert, Deonna Marie; has to say about the importance of pH levels in a hydroponic grow system.

Check out http://dabblings.net/?page_id=25 for results using DIY LED lights. I've tried Red, Blue, and White, they all appear to work just as well. The main thing to keep in mind is that if you're starting from seed, keep the light real close to the seedlings (about an inch above), otherwise they'll grow real spindly and keel over.

They look nice - but I find them rather expensive for the States. If you go to http://www.squidoo.com/LED-growlight you can find kits that are less expensive by far. If you don't like soldering, you can find ready made kits as well. Since you appear to live in Europe, with VAT taxes, etc. your source may turn out to be cheaper. Thanks for sharing the resource!
