Hydroponics in big water tank?

Hi,

As a total beginner, I am thinking of setting up a diy hydroponic system in our greenhouse.

In the winter I keep fish in a large water tank (a horse watering tank, approx 1500 liters, 1.8m x 1.2m x 70 cm deep)

I am thinking that if I make a lid for this and cut holes, I could use it for hydroponics in the summer.

I already have a water pump (max 200l / hour), and a good air pump. The water pump I hope to use to circulate and also to pump up for a drip system.

All the systems I see are in much smaller buckets for deep water hydroponics.

Is there anything against using a single tank this size for hydroponics?
