I agree, that is way to aggressive.

You don't have many pellets in there, but it is recommended that only the top layer moves somewhat aggresively, while the rest tumbles quite slowly/gently, so slowly that they don't move much, but pressure will build within it and you will see area turn over with time, releasing the mulm/bacteria.

This is the problem with the pellets, many failures, due to the fact of the pellets not being used properly. I myself am one of them that used incorrectly in the past.

I can tell you this, if used properly, they do work... I am seeing great results with them overall.
