Seachem Tidal Power Aquarium Filter for 35 Gallon Large Fish Tank, Black

The Tidal Power Filter offers a range of innovative features that enhance the aquarium experience. One of the standout features is the ventilation slots in the lid and aeration grooves in the outflow, which ensure that the water returned to the tank is fully oxygenated, maximizing gas exchange during the filtration process.

The filter's bottom-to-top flow design is another key advantage. The pump pushes water up into the basket, with the water entering through the bottom and being pushed out through the top. This flow pattern ensures that the water comes into contact with all the filter media, preventing it from bypassing or going around the media, as can happen with hang-on-back filters that have a back-to-front flow.

Over time, the filtration media can become clogged with debris, reducing or obstructing the water flow. When this occurs in the Tidal Power Filter, the water is redirected around the filter and back into the aquarium through a side outlet. This redirected water then pushes up the blue maintenance alert on the top of the filter, signaling that it's time to clean the filter.

The surface skimmer on the Tidal Power Filter is another impressive feature, capturing water from just below the surface, where fish oils accumulate, as well as removing floating debris from deeper in the tank. The fully adjustable flow regulation allows users to customize the performance to suit the specific aquarium volume, type, or the needs of fish that prefer more or less water movement or oxygenation.

The filter basket has a large capacity, allowing you to choose and configure the filtration media to your liking. Each Tidal Power Filter comes with Seachem's Matrix bio-media to get you started. The basket is fully removable and snaps into the lid of the filter, making for easy and drip-free cleaning.

One of the standout features of the Tidal Power Filter is its self-priming pump, which eliminates the need to fill the filter basket with water, start a siphon, or monitor the filter when setting it up. The self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant impeller is suitable for both saltwater and freshwater environments, reducing maintenance and making the filter suitable for a wide range of environments.

The Tidal Power Filter also features an adjustable leveling device on the base, allowing it to be easily adapted to a variety of aquarium styles. Additionally, all Tidal Power Filters come with a 3-year warranty, which can be extended to 5 years by registering the filter. The warranty covers the replacement of any defective parts.

If you experience any noise from the filter during the first week of use, this is considered normal, as the various components are working together for the first time. If you have any concerns, the Seachem product support specialists are available to provide assistance and troubleshooting guidance.
