Need Fuge Advice

My sump has been running for a few days and I'm comfortable putting something in it. It's a 3 chamber sump with a fuge in the middle and I need to stock the fuge.
It has live rock in it atm.. just a few pieces that I didn't like the look of from the DT.
If I have a deep sand bed do I need sand in the fuge? What else should I put in there?

Put in some Chaetomorpha Algae, GOOD NITRATE and PHOSPHATE REDUCER!
 
Do you need to have a sump? could you explain what that is exactly. I just started a 20 gal, and all i have is live sand, live rock, and a damsel. I want to expand slowly, but i have seen the words sump, and fuge, but i don't know what they mean, can you help?
