Air pump in sump?

A secondary source of Bio filtration

He did say he had bio balls, which would be his out of tank, secondary, bacteria colony.
Must admit, I know my tank houses enough surface area and bacteria, that I could pull the bio wheels from the penguins..I leave them on for the what ifs/opps.
 
Alright, I guess there was some confusion in that question.

Right now I am seeding a new 33 gallon sump with 150 scrubbies for my 90 gallon.
I want to add it fairly quickly, so I have a seeded HOB in the sump circulating it and being that I'd like to have this ready within a week or so, I figured adding as much agitation as possible could only be beneificial.

It is a wet dry, however approximately 50% of the bio media will be submerged.
I figure running an air pump under that cold be fairly beneficial.
I know the water will be oxygenated from the overflow, but I think some extra couldn't hurt.

I do very much like the sponge filter idea.
I will probably get a fairly large one and stick it right in the middle of my bio section of my sump.
