Seachem Tidal 55 Filter – Advanced Filtration for Freshwater and Marine Aquariums

The Seachem Tidal 55 Filter is a powerful and versatile hang-on-back (HOB) filter, designed to provide superior water quality in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. With innovative features such as a self-priming pump, maintenance alert, and built-in surface skimmer, the Tidal 55 Filter is perfect for aquarists seeking reliable and efficient filtration.

Key Features of the Seachem Tidal 55 Filter:

• Ventilation Slots: The filter lid includes ventilation slots and aeration grooves in the outflow, ensuring fully oxygenated water is returned to your aquarium. This maximises gas exchange for healthier fish and plants.
• Bottom-to-Top Flow Design: Water is pushed from the bottom to the top of the filter basket, ensuring it passes through all filter media. This prevents water from bypassing the media, unlike traditional back-to-front flow filters.
• Maintenance Alert: The built-in maintenance alert pops up when the filter media becomes clogged, letting you know it’s time to clean your filter for optimal performance.
• Surface Skimmer: The integrated surface skimmer removes debris and fish oils from the water’s surface, promoting a cleaner and clearer aquarium.
• Telescoping Intake Pipe: The adjustable intake pipe allows you to pull water from any level of your tank, making it easier to maintain water quality at different depths.
• Adjustable Flow Regulation: Control the water flow rate with the front dial to suit your aquarium’s specific needs. Additionally, a separate intake flow regulation dial lets you adjust how much water is drawn from the surface skimmer versus the underwater intake.
• No Filter Cartridges: The filter basket is large enough to hold your choice of filter media, including the included Seachem Matrix bio-media for enhanced biological filtration.
• No-Mess Maintenance: The filter basket is fully removable and snaps into the lid for drip-free transportation to your sink for cleaning.
• Self-Priming Pump: No need to manually start the filter—just plug it in, and it’s ready to go. The self-priming pump ensures hassle-free startup every time.
• Self-Cleaning Impeller: The corrosion-resistant impeller requires minimal maintenance and works in both saltwater and freshwater environments.
• Adjustable Leveling Device: The base of the filter includes an adjustable leveler to ensure a secure fit on different aquarium styles.
• Heater Holder: Attach a heater to the side of the filter using the optional heater clip for more efficient heat distribution throughout the tank.
• 3-Year Warranty: The Tidal 55 Filter is backed by a 3-year warranty, which can be extended to 5 years by registering your filter. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind.
