I am not running any mechanical filtration, I believe it's called berlin method? Just because I am too lazy to maintain them. There is no harm except for the visuals, I have alot of particles and dust in the water though. I am considering building a little crate in the sump where I can put filter FLOSS to partially polish the water. A sock would be a good way to get some detritus out but I just siphon some of it out of the sump during water change.
