No Andy, keep the LR n the tank as you need that to aid in the filtration process. It is the rock that will in time bring your system back under control. Yes, if you create a sump, provided it is large enough, you will want to put your protein skimmer, heater, etc. in the sump. Putting the protein skimmer in the sump, you will want either a series of 3 baffles (or a filter sock could also help) to remove microbubbles.
