I wouldn't lower the water level unless you have your sump designed to trickle water over them and keep the exposed balls constantly wet. Have you seen a wet/dry filter in operation? These have trays with many holes in them that drip water over a large surface.

Keep in mind that having an adequate amount of LR in your DT will also provide space for the anaerobic bacteria and help with nitrate reduction.
