Mechanical filtration is the straining of solid particles from the aquarium water. Most common mechanical filter media do not remove microscopic bacteria and algae from the water. Neither will mechanical filtration remove any solids trapped by gravel, plants, or decorations. When using this method you'll need to use another method in addition in order to get rid of the solid wastes in your aquarium.
A sump is the ideal place to put biological filtration as well as perform additional mechanical and chemical filtration.
