2- Maintenance Monitor(Fancy name for a blue peg) Just make sure to let the water drain into the filter before moving it to the tray. It also frees up space so you don’t need a bucket or something big to place the media basket into, when taking it to the sink. The lid works as a drip tray and stand for the media basket so you don’t drip water all over the place when doing maintenance on your filter. When you take off the lid and turn it over you will see some inserts sticking out from the tray(see pic) these inserts will fit into the bottom of the media basket. (This some of these images was taken from and the other pictures were taken by me of my Tidal 55 HOB Filter) 1- Lid or Cover I will use the first picture and numbers that correspond with each feature as a guide to explain what I have noticed and what I think about each feature. I will post a picture and right below that I will have a description on the picture I just posted. More on this later.Īt First Glance this filter has the same shape and form as any other HOB filter but if you take a closer look there are things that Seachem has done that I don’t think I have ever seen on any other HOB filter on the market. BUT, I use the filter without the telescopic intake on and Seachem has done a great job of “thinking ahead”. I am using this on my 33 Long and with the intake strainer on, the strainer is about 1/2-3/4 inches above the bottom on the tank. Before I get into a In depth review let me tell you I got the smallest Tidal Filter the 55 and it is BIG! This filter IMHO is not for smaller tanks and should be used on 20 Gallon tanks and above. ![]() When it was finally released I got my hands on the Tidal 55 and I was in shock when I opened the box. The waiting game was harsh and I kept on looking for updates and I even posted some Seachems FB Page, which is sometime I almost never do. At the time it was not available in stores and was going to be released a few months later. ![]() When I first saw the video of the Seachem Tidal Filter In 2016, I instantly knew that this was a filter I wanted to get. Could the Seachem Tidal 55 take the throne from the Aquaclear Series HOB Filters? You decide!Įver since I have started this hobby I have always heard that the Aquaclear filters were the best and even if you look up videos on YouTube you will find that the Aquaclear Filters dominate the number of videos about it.
