It's been proven that the creatures that are needed to slowly move the sand bed in a DSB over about 6" can't be maintained in a reef aquarium. You...
You don't "need" anything. I have never put any form of mechanical filtration on my reefs. Only a protein skimmer. No sponges, no socks, no floss....
+1, it makes your life easier and gives you a cushion if something happens like a fish death you can't get out or overfeeding etc. But not a must...
