make sure your tank is fresh water and dont water daily, allow the soil to dry between watering and i didnt see you mention anything about air circulation thats very important!

water until you have 10% or so runoff, you want all the soil to be soaked.

miracle grow is perfect for seedlings. all you have to do is water them for the first few weeks. IMO
