Bio balls or Live rock for the sump?

Had the sump built, nothing special though few chambers for the rocks.
I generally kept most of it all under water, at times I did have a pile of it out of the normal water level to quiet down the spashing. I would assume that you can do both with good results.

LR for sho..... BB tend to clog or become nitrate traps...
if you clean say a third of them every 3-4 months, they MAY be ok..... but i'd just pony up for the LR..
a deep sand bed is also a good thing to have in your sump... 3-6''

trickle towers are TOO good, they'll end up being nitrate factories... you'll need some anaerobic area if you want to keep tartes down... A.K.A. deep sand bed...
