It is great to see you adding a few more things into the tank. The stones might grow some algae for grazing! They love the dark green kind.

I found that as well - rough, volcanic ones the best. Smooth river stones or quartz not so liked by BBA.
So I kinda rebuilt how the sump works to add a filter sock. The hardware store had a 12” section of 4” pvc for a couple bucks and the LFS had a filter sock for seven. I clipped out the middle section of the egg crate so the pipe would sit all the way in, and took out the one media bag of bio balls that I don’t think was really doing anything anyway. Also added a short section of pipe so the outlet is under the surface of the water which is helping the gurgling a bit. It’s more steady anyway.
Also I saw two loaches at the same time again!
