Seachem Tidal Power Aquarium Filter - 35 Gallon Large Fish Tank Filter

These are fantastic filters. Low wattage high output. Would like to have seen an uptake tube though.

These are hands down the best HOBs on the market. Large media area, self priming and QUIET. If you hear a raddle, fidfle with it. Lube the impeller and run pump (in water) w/o the filter.. it should be quiet. If its not, its the impeller, if it is, theres something in need of adjustment within the housing. Easy stuff. Dont worry, it feels scary tweeking them at first, but they're sturdy. Done right, this is a great system. Its reliable, and I can sleep with it running (and I'm picky as they come). I have 2 35's and a 55. They have a minor flaw with the intake if you have shrimp but course sponge or ACO has an answer. Over all, for the price, you can't beat it.

It great filter and works fine and it's so quite but I wish that the seller mention on the details that it is 110 V just be careful and read the label before using it

In the past I've used Aquaclears. I found Aquaclears often have a (fairly quiet) rattling or humming noise, and were quieter with the lid removed. So far this filter is very silent. I haven't had it running for long so hopefully it doesn't get much louder with age. The loudest sound I get is from trickling water if my aquarium's water level isn't high enough. If I keep the water level high enough I can't hear trickling water either. I think having the motor under the water (compared to an Aquaclear where the motor is outside) helps keep it quiet. The flow rate can also be adjusted to a very wide range. At its minimum it's a very gentle flow, probably good for a 10 gallon or even a 5.5 gallon. I have it at full strength on a 20 gallon with dwarf puffers. I also like the surface skimmer, since the aquarium it's in seems to get more surface oil than my other tanks. The things I don't like are fairly minor (except for #3): 1) There's a white circle on the side of the motor that can easily be seen. There's also a gray knob on the front. You can see both of them on the picture of the box. They don't blend so well with the black of the rest of the filter. (I have a solid black aquarium background) 2) Like a lot of people mention there's no intake tube to extend to the bottom of the tank. It's not a huge problem for me but it would be a nice extra add-on. I think the fixed depth is around 3 to 4" deep. 3) It's more expensive than other HOB filters. In the past I've resisted buying the Seachem Tidal in favor of cheaper filters like Aquaclear. But I'm happy I spent a bit more this time.

O melhor filtro da Categoria para aquários.
