How much live rock for frag sump?

Hi all; looking for advice/recommendations again.

I'm building a frag system. I've got 2 ea. 20 gallon tanks (40 total), and a 20 gallon sump, all in one system.

I may have a couple of fish in each of the two frag tanks (4 clowns total).

I'm just wondering a couple things:

1. What type of filter media
2. How much of above?

I'd love the media to be in the sump.

I look forward to recommendations.

How about just use macro algae and some MarinePure Ceramic Biomedia Plate?

Yes, I was thinking possibly a 4" X 8" X 8" (or something close to that).

Thanks!

You get way more surface area one them then rock. Bulk reef supply has a great video comparing all the options. Not cheap however great product and less space....
