great for a cloner, ok for a vegger, really not good for flower. when roots get so long they will be in the nutes and with that little amount of water it will stay warm, not good. you need to decide if you want aero or dwc after cloning stage. if you want dwc lose the pump and manifold and add more nutes and water. if you want aero you will need to plumb from the res to a second tote that will serve as veg root chamber using your sprayer manifold and draining back to res. take a look at my setup in hydro section, my 3 stages of flower. it might give you ideas.
