I've done a little bit of hydroponic growing (chillies) so I'd love to know how the perlite is going to remain algae free and how this desk would be cleaned if / when aglae starts to take hold.
I think this is a great idea though. I, for one, would use it.
You need to use covers, and thick enough containers, to deprive the algae of light to inhibit growth. The perlite, which is a non-renewable resource, does not matter.

Yeah, I was wondering how you drain/clean the desk from time to time. Could get very stinky and gross.
However, I LOVE the idea of working in a mini forest.
