Do what I *didn't* and fill it with LR, you've got yourself a sexy beast!

Be careful you've got room to have put a filter sock, that's the mistake I made.

I like the idea of using the egg crate as it is easier to assemble than using acrylic but I was curious as to why you covered it with landscape fabric? Also what would be the advantage of filling it with live rock? I do have a separate refugium area in my sump where I plan on having some live rock and eventually some cheato. The sump that I built is made from a 50 gallon tank with 3 separate sections (skimmer chamber, return chamber, and refugium).
