You should remove the bioballs and replace them with rock rubble and a macro algae

The general consensus would be to replace those bio-balls with live rock, as the bio-balls have the potential to become nitrate traps. For macro like Cheato (the best macro) you need a light over it, preferably running on the opposite schedule as your main display lights.

Honestly I can't really tell what's going on in that thing as far as space.
Looks like a wet/dry filter. Ideally you need a refugium which is one partition (or space) in the sump. The most common is a 3-section sump. Skimmer/Fuge/Return... not necessarily in that order but that's probably the most common.

I think you should take out the bioballs and have that section be for your skimmer. The the second one for your fuge and return.
