Rock rubble is the same as bio balls, just put the live rock in the tank and remove the bio balls. Remove about 1/4 of them a week to do it safely.

No light needed for just the LRR. Use as much as will fit.

Okay thanks but I am going to put chaeto in there to make it kinda like a refugium so what about the gurgling sound I have herd to just fill it until it doesn't make a sound or use a algae pad which works best
