Looks like a nice system for the price, tho I've never tried one, you will need a TDS meter to keep an eye on your ppm's and a PH meter, both are very important for that kind of system, any hydroponic nutes will work fine, it's up to you and how much you're willing to spend.

Keep in mind that you wont be finishing 4 plants in that system dood, really thats just a 4 clone DWC system then when they get big enough you transplant them to a larger DWC unit i.e. the same size as that but with one single netpot in the top to give your plant the space it needs to mature a good root system and = good growth/flowering.
I hope this helps and you did not rush out and buy that a little hasty, however if you did purchase this you can easily purchase or fashion yourself a lid that fits with a single larger netPot if you wanna be finishing plants in there.

Check out my thread on my NL grow. My system is home made using parts from my local hardware store and pet store. I used it for many grows years ago and have just started again. Its cheap and works perfectly.
It would be perfect for your grow, just down size it a bit.

since I started growing again (13 years later) I'm really surprised I haven't seen anyone else using it. If your interested ill explain it exactly.

Rubbermaid is your friend. They have a container for almost every size you can imagine and it's not very hard to cut out a hole for the net pot to fit in and another for your air hose. As far as nutrients go, I think you can use just about any of the usual suspects. I have run organic nutes in mine with no issues.

Don't cheap out on air pumps and air stones, more bubbles = healthier plants.
