Interesting tank..dirt below the rocks either mean insufficient flow or wrong scape with dead spot..of coz the appealing look of a tank is up to individual, i just find it weird with just a small piece of rock in a big tank..anyway nice fishes u got..cheers

For my sump I just use two pack of ceramic bio rings , skimmer in the second compartment , third compartment for quarantine new fish and lady compartment for return pump . I notice put more bio rings in the sump actually doesn't help much . Just keep the sump simple . I noticed after I remove the bio rings in the third compartment of my sump there are no effect to the tank at all .

Imo. Sump don't use coral chips or sand as filter medium . just use some bio rings . If use coral chips , over the time dirt will accumulate in the coral chips , resulting in high nitrate 

Bio rings would collect detritus too, if the earlier filter floss or sponge is not trapping enough particulate matter.
