Seachem Tidal Power Hang-On Filters

Seachem Tidal Power Hang-On Filters

Seachem Tidal Power Hang-On Filters are versatile hang-on aquarium filters designed for fishkeepers who want comprehensive filtration with practical, easy-to-manage features. Suitable for freshwater and saltwater aquariums, these Seachem filters use a flexible media basket, adjustable water movement and dual water intake to adapt to different aquarium conditions.

Key Benefits

• Fully adjustable flow regulation lets you tailor water movement and oxygenation to your aquarium and its inhabitants.
• Dual intake draws water from below the surface and through a surface skimmer, helping collect floating debris and water from the area where fish oils accumulate.
• Bottom-to-top water flow pushes water through the filter media from beneath, helping ensure contact with the media in the basket.
• Large removable basket accepts filtration media of your choice, without requiring disposable filter cartridges.
• Self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant impeller is suited to both freshwater and marine aquarium use.
• Ventilation slots and aeration grooves in the outflow support gas exchange as water returns to the aquarium.

How to Use

Mount the filter on the aquarium and use the front dial to adjust flow as needed. The self-priming pump removes the need to fill the basket with water or start a siphon when setting up. After a power interruption, the filter is designed to restart automatically. Adjust the intake flow to balance water drawn through the underwater intake and surface skimmer where this feature is available.

Maintenance

A blue maintenance alert rises when restricted media flow redirects water through the side outlet, indicating that the filter requires cleaning. Remove the basket and snap it into the lid for drip-free transport to a sink or hose. The adjustable telescoping intake and optional heater-holder function are available on applicable models.

Suitable For

• Freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
• Aquariums requiring adjustable flow for fish that prefer more or less water movement.
• Fishkeepers who prefer to choose and arrange their own filter media.

What's Included

• Seachem Matrix bio-media to get started.

Can I use this hang-on filter in a marine aquarium?
Yes. The self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant impeller is suitable for freshwater and saltwater environments.
