I would say yes even though it’s heavily planted but I would check aqadvisor too.
Long as youve got plants feeding in water column ur good
if the cycle is working well it’ll be OK due to all the plants,
If you run a high bioload it wont hurt to have a. decent external filter which includes biological filtration material in addition to foam and purigen.
I have an extreme bioload, lots of plants, …and run an FX6 filter on a 3 ft tank!
I barely see the fish so ig it’s good
