I've just bought this system and i'm confused if i should time the pump to run in intervals or just let it run all the time with this setup? Thanks.

Algae isn't that terrible and is easily remedied, however having a saturated rockwool block doesn't allow the roots to breath and is asking for root problems.

Rockwool is a bit tricky, but it produces well.
