There is so little surface area in that tank that I would consider getting a bunch of biomedia for the back.
Honestly though, I would NEVER recommend a new tank owner go with a bare bottom SPS tank. That is probably the most difficult type of tank to run for someone who is new to the hobby. You will have very little stability for quite a while in that tank so be prepared to fight algae for a decent amount of time.
