I think the point is that no, there is no advantage, and in fact could be detrimental to add the rock to your sump. You likely won't need it (assuming you add the 100ish pounds to the DT) and it could collect detritus, causing nutrient buildup.

Well that kinda sucks! I know with less rock in the tank it would make scaping a lot easier but I don't think I'd want to get rid of any either. Will work with what I've got.

Cyano looks like its clearing up! Might be able to do this tomorrow instead of Sunday!

You know, some of the best rockwork I've ever seen is right in Calgary. Check out Fooser's tank:
