I made a nice hydroponic container and bought the tomato seeds. I don't know when the tomato seeds can sprout. Unfortunately I can't find tomato seedlings around, otherwise everything will be easier.
Now it's hot and buying the tomato seedlings online is not a good idea as they may be dead on the way even if it just spends two days.

Tomato seeds usually sprout in 5 to 10 days if you keep them warm and moist. Seedlings grow fast after that.

We just usually put the seeds into soft moist compost and they grow like that
Have never tried a tank like that before
That looks like a fancy tank
Good luck growing the tomatoes

@youless It would be interesting to see if that project works and if the plant can grow and bear fruit. I’d like to try something similar using my aquarium to grow plants, but it feels like a bit of a gamble since my tank is small and has fish in it. I’ve noticed that the aquatic plants in my tank can’t consume all the nutrients, which is why algae grows. Maybe adding plants on top to fully absorb the nutrients could solve my algae problem.

I´ll try that this year. The bought tomatoes are no good.

Even a rotten tomato thrown in the dump will soon produce seedlings from the seeds. May be in 5 to 7 days

Exactly as DaddyEvil said 5-10 days they should germinate.

I hope you're able to find some plants to put in your container.
