Rock in the sump or in the tank will work the same either way.

I have a FOWLR 100 gallon. I have about 75 lbs of live rock in the tank. My fish dont seem like they have enough swimming space.
I am in the process of plumbing a new large sump in the closet behind the tank. I was thinking about getting a sump large enough so that I could put about half or more of the live rock in the sump. Would this make the rock's biological filtration less effective because of the high turnover in the sump? Is there a way around it?
I'll probably be putting sand in there as well eventually. Thanks.
