I always like to have as much live rock in my set-ups as I can.

I have live rock and macro algae in both of my sumps. I also keep a powerhead in the live rock compartment to keep stuff from settling in there

I use filter socks on the drain line to prevent stuff from getting in the sump

In my 90g wide sump, I've had as much as 100+ lbs of extra live rock in there. Extra biological filtration.
