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

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