Default Thoughts on filter socks vs more flow in sump

I've been noticing a lot of detritus buildup lately and I've been debating wether or not to use a filter sock to prevent this

The sump has roughly 3000gph of flow within it

(Drain, powerhead and reactor outflow and skimmer output)



So what I want to know is should I put a filter sock on the drain or just add another powerhead to my sump

The display is bare bottom and gets almost no buildup

My only concern about having another powerhead in the sump is the possibility of detritus returning to the display

Also I don't have any nutrient problems in the system and do a 40% wc every 2 weeks
