Is the LR porous ? Do you know the place of origin of the rock {fiji, Marshall, Lalo etc.} ? Or do you have dead base rock ? Do you have a sand bed and if so how deep is it ?

Is it possible to put cheato and LR in the actually wet/dry fliter?
It really depends on the size of the sump. I have seen people use LR and algae in these types of sumps but the design can be difficult, it's really much easier to build your own. Oceanic which builds tanks also makes some good sumps if you don't want to make your own check your LFS it should be cheaper then the wet/dry they're trying to sell ya. There's also a guy on EBAY that builds/sells aquarium sumps.
