I would say Milles aren't as easy as Birdnests or Montis, but taking SPS as a whole, Milles aren't even close to be a challenging genus. It's a good next step considering the SPS you listed success...

The filter sock should not be in there long enough for it to overflow. It should be changed twice per week or so.
