The Tidal filters can be set up in seconds by hanging them right on any open side of your aquarium. They are easy to use and adaptable to a variety of aquarium conditions. For simplicity’s sake and for ease of maintenance, HOB filters are a great option in these situations. Hospital and quarantine tanks are great examples of systems that may need to be set up quickly and with minimal equipment. In some situations, space constraints or aquarium size can make this a challenge. While having a system plumbed with an overflow and sump certainly has its advantages, this isn’t always practical. The warranty covers the replacement of the defective parts.TIDAL hang on filters are designed from the ground up to provide the aquarium with high-quality, easy to implement, comprehensive filtration. This can be extended to 5 years by registering your filter. This cuts down on maintenance and makes the filter suitable for a wide range of environments.Ī leveler on the base of the filter lets the filter adjust to a variety of aquarium stylesĪ heater can be attached to the side with an optional heater clip, allowing for better dispersal of heated water through the aquarium.Īll Tidal™ Filters are guaranteed against defects of materials and workmanship for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase, except for the pump’s impeller. The self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant impeller is suited for both saltwater and freshwater environments. Self-priming pump means there is no need to fill the filter basket with water, start a siphon, monitor the filter, or any of the other headaches of starting a new filter The basket is fully removable and snaps into the lid of the filter for easy and drip-free transit to a sink or hose for cleaning. All Tidal™ Filters come with Seachem's Matrix™ bio-media to get you started. The filter basket has a huge capacity to hold filtration media of your choice in the configuration of your choice. The flow on the pump is adjustable using the dial on the frontĪ dial on the side of the filter adjusts how much flow comes from the underwater intake versus the surface skimmer The adjustable telescoping intake allows water to be taken from any level of the tank without the need to stop the filter or bother with spare parts The surface skimmer will capture the water from just below the surface, where excreted fish oils accumulate, as well as deeper in the tank removing floating debris The redirected water pushes up the blue maintenance alert on the top of the filter, signaling that the filter needs to be cleaned. When this happens in Tidal™ filters, water is redirected around the filter and back into the aquarium through an outlet on the side. Over time, filtration media can become clogged with detritus reducing or obstructing the flow of water through it. A bottom-to-top flow ensures that water comes into contact will all filter media, and cannot go around or over filter media as with hang on back filters with a back-to-front flow. The pump pushes water up into the basket of the filter, entering through the bottom of the basket and being pushed out the top. Ventilation slots in the lid of the filter and aeration grooves in the outflow ensure that water returned to the tank is fully oxygenated and maximize gas exchange during filtration.
