Looks good! But it'll be hard to keep that glass clean with the rocks right up against it.

Dang that's enough... I think I get about 1 to 1.5 a day but that's on 15 gallons (10 gallon tank with approx 5 gallons of sump volume) How much does it swing your salinity? Do you have an auto top off?

The tank has now fully cycled and the pods are looking after the cleaning for me since I have only done it once to date !!
