It really depends. Are you planning to add any sort of biomedia, rock, etc in your sump?

Depending what you are using, that should help to offset the amount of rock in your display. Rock is one of the best biofiltration tools, so if you have enough rock or other forms of biomedia between your tank and sump you should be good. The old rule of thumb is 1-1.5 lbs of rock per gallon of water. Some of the biomedia takes a lot less though, like 1 brick for 500 gallons (depending on the media).

iMO absolutely requires more rock. IMO a rockscape should 1-provide space to mount corals, 2-provide hiding spaces for fish, this scape does neither IMO.
