In process of an upgrade and will have rock in the refugium section of the sump for cryptic sponges ala @Timfish
Like Griss pointed out, just some ocean sourced live rock or rubble for cryptic sponges. Cryptic sponges are essential for reefs and some maricultured or wild live rock in an unlit sump is very beneficial. Here's some links:
Element cycling on tropical coral reefs.
This is Jasper de Geoij's ground breaking research on reef sponge finding some species process labile DOC 1000X faster than bacterioplankton. (The introduction is in Dutch but the content is in English.)
Sponge symbionts and the marine P cycle
Phosphorus sequestration in the form of polyphosphate by microbial symbionts in marine sponges
Differential recycling of coral and algal dissolved organic matter via the sponge loop.
Sponges treat DOC from algae differently than DOC from corals

Dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen are quickly processed by sponges and released back into the reef food web in hours as carbon and nitrogen rich detritus.

Coral-excavating sponges are the most important bioeroders on Caribbean reefs and increase in abundance throughout the region. This increase is commonly attributed to a concomitant increase in food availability due to eutrophication and pollution. ...
