No need to go that route Ureylana as filters for aquariums are very easy to acquire and setup. If you are going bare bottom you might consider a couple sponge filters or hang of the back filter like an Aquaclear. I would not put a sump on this tank unless you want the extra water volume. You could also go with a canister filter but I will leave that to other members to discuss since I do not use them.
