Really depends on if you want to use LR for filtration or just run an awesome skimmer. I've seen BB frag tanks with no LR in them at all (sump or tank). Not really sure how they can do that.

All the frag tanks we have around here are packed with live rock..

I'd say 40 lbs minimum

I have a 120g tank upstairs and my 100g Rubbermaid sump in my sump closet.Im considering adding this and , another 36x30x10 frag tank to my main system.The only reason I wouldn't is because these tanks will have to sit up 48 inches off the floor to work with my set up I have now.

How much live rock should I put in my sump?

As much as will fit. There's not really an upper limit to live rock, though at some point the cost probably exceeds the benefit.
