I am thinking about setting up a 50 gallon frag system. My question is, besides running a skimmer for mechanical filtration what is typically used as a for biological filtration in the sump as there will be no live rock in the main tank?

Is the "ugly stage" of a new tank actually avoidable, or is it a mandatory rite of passage?
