The filter exceeds my expectations. It is the best HOB filter I have ever come across. Affordable and easy to clean maintain.

This SeaChem filter is absolutely incredible! It runs quietly, efficiently, and reliably. I used to be a fan of Aquaclear but this self-priming filtration is awesome. When there's a power outage and the generator kicks in, so does the Seachem. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great filter. I run a 90 gallon aquarium with an eheim canister and this Seachem and have NEVER had an issue.

I got this as a backup filter for a 75G. I have a Fluval FX4 running and decided to add a HOB filter to polish my water. It is a powerful filter with a lot of space for filter media. I added Renew and some Matrix. It comes with some media but it just fills up half the space. After adding this filter, my water clarity improved. I also added 30 amano shrimp to combat algae, and so far, it has worked.The only downside to this filter is the noise. As a canister filter kind of girl, I am used to a gentle hum in the background. This filter, however, requires a specific water level to not be "splashy" (like every HOB) but I noted that the filter is more sensitive to water level than others due to how powerful it is. Even if you adjust water levels, adjust how the filter sits on your tank, there will be water splashing noises. The motor is also pretty loud. Compared to my FX4 which is more like a background noise, this filter's loud noise takes a while to get used to.I do not recommend this filter if you are sensitive to noise, if you have a small room or using this in a bedroom. However, if you are desperate for a good HOB filter and don't really care about noise, then buy this!

Most aquarium filters aren't very good. My Tidals (I've had a pair of 110s since 8/20) are an exception, having won me over after my initial annoyance with a rattling noise in one, which I eventually fixed. Water flow is good, the self-priming feature is very welcome, and their reliability has been great.I use a pair of these filters on a 90-gallon planted, CO2-injected aquarium with five large angels, four young keyhole cichlids, five black neon tetras (great fish), seven emperor tetras, five corydoras, and three SAEs--so it's moderately stocked. I also run a pair of Aquarium Co-op's coarse sponge filters with two air pumps. I guess I like my symmetry!I like them better than my two Eheim 2217s. Yes, two again. The Eheims get rattly after about eight years, so I have to periodically replace the shafts and grommets. Canister filters are a PITA to maintain regularly. I've relegated them to my other tank, a 55-gallon with about 20 yellow lab cichlids (Labidochromis caeruleus). Obviously that tank is heavily stocked, but the Eheims and another sponge filter work fine in that setup.I like a lot of Seachem products, but I've found I don't really need anything any more besides Prime and Purigen, since I already have CO2 and my favorite fertilizers are pond tabs (cheap) for plant roots and NilocG for DIY water column fertilization for leaf feeders. Seachem's Tidal filters are a quality product, just like Prime and Purigen.

Seller got it sent out straight away, arrived sooner than was expected, packaged perfectly. As for the filter itself it’s huge and just what I was looking for!

This started out as my secondary unit to my canister filter, but I've since rearranged media so that it's now my primary mechanical and my canister is strictly a secondary bio/CO2 filter.The pro: This is the only "all-in-one"unit I have found that pulls water from all levels. Even freshwater tanks need a surface skim, to keep those natural oils and floating debris from building up. This one excels at filtering the middle to upper portions of the tank. Media is infinitely configurable and customizable to your needs. I currently run a coarse sponge topped by the medium sponge it came with, then bio media on top of that. It's quiet, (so long as you keep the water level high). And by design, the motor/impeller doesn't need maintained as often as other filters. It's powerful and variable; this unit can push as much water as you desire.Cons: it doesn't pull a lot of water from the lower column of the tank. That's about the only location a canister pulls from however, which is why running two different types of filtration is advantageous. Running by itself, it's very selective towards the top. The other con I've found is that it doesnt like fine filtration. If I put a water polishing pad in there it almost immediately starts bypassing. However, combining the coarse with the medium sponges as I mentioned above, it captures most of the suspended particles and only needs cleaned once a week. If/when the motor impeller needs maintenance, it's a small ordeal to disassemble the submerged part of the unit to access. It also needs more behind-tank clearance than other filters.Verdict: it's not perfect, but it's the best HOB I have found in 20+ years of fish keeping. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Es un excelente filtro. Acepta mucho material biológico y muy buen volumen de flujo pero ha subido mucho de precio en los últimos meses casi un 25 por ciento. Es una lastima
