The Seachem Tidal™ Power Filter is a professional-grade hang-on-back (HOB) filter engineered in collaboration with Sicce to provide the highest water quality possible. Unlike traditional HOB filters, the Tidal™ series features a self-priming pump, a built-in surface skimmer, and a massive media capacity. Its bottom-to-top flow design ensures that water interacts with all filter media, eliminating the "bypass" issues common in other power filters.
The Tidal™ series is designed with ease of maintenance and high performance in mind, making it suitable for both beginner and advanced hobbyists.
Self-Priming Submerged Pump: The motor is located inside the aquarium, ensuring the filter automatically restarts after power outages or maintenance without needing to be manually primed.
Integrated Surface Skimmer: Effectively removes oily surface films and floating debris, significantly improving oxygen exchange at the water's surface.
Maintenance Alert Feature: A blue float at the top of the filter rises when the media is clogged, providing a clear visual signal that it is time for a cleaning.
High-Capacity Media Basket: The large, removable basket allows for total customization of your filtration. It comes standard with Seachem Matrix™ bio-media and a high-density foam pre-filter.
Heater Attachment Clip: Larger models feature a specialized clip on the side of the intake to securely hold an aquarium heater, helping to hide equipment and improve heat distribution.
