It doesn’t use replaceable cartridges which suck for many reasons, we wont get into that in this article but you can read more about why here. Its designed for bottom to top water travel which ensures water goes through all your media and its a far better design than those back to front water flow HOB’s. Along with that adjustment is also the standard adjustment for output water flow which all HOB’s should have, if yours doesn’t, its time to upgrade…Get one of these! Its got a surface skimmer guys, this pulls water into it at the surface as well as at the filter intake, so if you’ve got any dust or debris that accumulates at your surface this skimmer handles that like a breeze!Īnd guess what, you can adjust how much water comes in from the skimmer and from the intake tube. This is by far the number 1 reason why the Tidal is king, but there are other super cool features included that just run up the score when it doesn’t even have to. Seachem even offers a 3 year warranty against defects of materials and workmanships, bet you didn’t know that. It will fill up the basket with water and run on its own every time without fail. This means that during a power outage or even first time start up it can self-prime. Seachem and Secce eliminate this huge flaw by placing the pump on the front of the filter which keeps it submerged in the water all the time. And its especially ‘no bueno’ if nobody notices that the power went out, like if no one was home when it happened. It will remain off until YOU or somebody fills it up with water again. Well what happens when the power goes out while you’re asleep or at work? Yea you guessed it, some of you have even experienced it. This is a major flaw because in order for the filter to start running, YOU have to fill it with water first.
Most competing HOB’s have their pumps on the back of the filter which sits outside the tank.
The reason is because of how the pump on this filter was designed. Not only that, but if there’s ever a power outage for whatever reason this filter will turn on and provide filtration without you having to do a thing. What does that mean, it means that after you set it up on your tank all you’ve got to do is plug it in and it works. Its easy to set up, its easy to clean and maintain, its super quiet, and best thing of all is that its self-priming. Seachem, together with Sicce, just understand the common fish keeper and what we need in a filter. So what sets this HOB apart from the rest, It’s the entire design as a whole.
