My system has been running for two weeks (maybe a little longer) and most of the vegetables/fruits have begun to grow and seem to be doing well, but I have some lettuce and a tomato plant that seem to be "limp". They are green, but cannot support there own weight and lay flat. What might be the problem?

My system is a flood and drain. I have a ten gallon tank, with three 2" goldfish and two, five gallon grow beds.

Any help would be appreciated

water isn't flooding the bed high enough to reach the roots

Yep, that would be my guess, not getting any water.
