I've got some rubble rock laying around in my 75 gallon reef tank. Can I add this to my canister filter? It would still act as a place for bacteria to grow. I'm just concerned if it is going to need light. In that case its a no go.
 
yes it will definatly work. from a filtration point of view LR works better without light as light will encourage algea to grow on the surface therefore compromising its effectivness.

awesome niger in your avatar by the way, is it yours ?
 
No I wish it was. There my favorite trigger. Thanks for the advice!
