Sure can, just need to make sure there is plenty of water moving around it to ensure no build-up occurrs and also need to make sure it is completely submersed.

Better than bio-balls, by a long shot.

If the rock cannot be completly submersed, I think you'll be wasting some money of quality liverock; it will provide surface for bacteria but there is probably more than enough in your reef structure to cover that. I would remove the bio-media and go without personally.

LR rubble is the best way to go, but if it is not fully submersed, then it won't filter properly. There is a fill line on the wet/dry. If you have to, break apart the rock to make them fit under the fill line. That's what I did and it works great. HTH
