Mechanical Filtrated
Water is passed through a screen, or
other material which removes larger pieces

The materials of mechanical filters are inert - this means that the
material the filter is made of will do nothing to interfere with your water chemistry.
The most important thing to remember about mechanical filters is
that
the smaller the pores, the faster the filter clogs.
Mechanical filters should be cleaned regularly, and replaced as
necessary.
Mechanical filtration can greatly improve the health of most bait
tanks, and is also important for the efficiency of your
biological filtration.
The mechanical filter process is simple:
Mechanical Filters strains solid debris such as fish excrement,
scales and other debris
as water passes through it where it can be easily removed and rinsed
or replaced.
This not only reduces the amount of solids in your water, it helps
keep debris
from reaching your biological media, building up, and creating dead
spots
where nitrifying bacteria can't reproduce.
