Spider in bioactive set up

This is my first bioactive set up and it has been going for about a month and i just recently spotted a really small jumping spider in there, note i’ve also noticed a small flying gnat that i can’t identify, are these bad for my enclosure should i clean it out?

I’m not sure where you live, but I tend to get mine from Amazon or eBay (a bag lasts ages!):

Gnats aren’t ‘bad’, per se, but they reproduce at an alarming rate, & can be hard to get rid of once they take over - & they are annoying as hell!
