I do not know anything about the Dr Tims stuff, but cleaning the glass should be perfectly okay. The bacteria you want to build up is on the rocks; although some may attach to the glass, this is not where you want the population to grow...

Yep, clean all the glass you want in that case you'll seed the rock with the bacs that are hanging on to the glass.

How you doing on the the test results?

You can clean the glass as normal the beneficial bacteria is populating on and in the rock.
