The Seachem Tidal 55 Filter offers exceptional filtration for aquariums up to 55 US gallons (200 Liters). It features ventilation slots and aeration grooves in the lid and outflow to ensure that water returned to the tank is fully oxygenated, maximizing gas exchange during filtration. The filter utilizes a bottom-to-top flow design, which pushes water up into the basket from the bottom and out through the top, ensuring comprehensive contact with all filter media.
A maintenance alert system directs water around the filter when the media becomes clogged, indicating when cleaning is needed. The integrated surface skimmer captures water from just below the surface to remove floating debris and fish oils. The adjustable telescoping intake pipe allows for water collection from any level of the tank without stopping the filter.
Flow regulation is managed via a dial on the front of the filter, with additional adjustment for intake flow versus surface skimming through a side dial. The filter basket is large and can be filled with the filtration media of your choice, and the unit includes Seachem's Matrix™ bio-media to get started. For easy maintenance, the filter basket is fully removable and snap-secured into the lid for drip-free cleaning. The self-priming pump eliminates the need for manual siphoning, and the self-cleaning impeller is suitable for both saltwater and freshwater setups. An adjustable leveling device allows the filter to fit various aquarium styles, and an optional heater holder improves water temperature distribution.
Dimensions for the unit are 8 1/16 inches in length, 6 1/8 inches in width, and 8 3/8 inches in height, with a media chamber size of 7 3/8 inches by 2 9/16 inches by 5 7/8 inches. It has a flow rate of 250 US GPH (1000 L/H) and operates at 6 watts (120 V - 60 Hz) or 5 watts (230 V - 50 Hz). The filter volume is 0.32 US gallons (1.2 Liters).
The package includes the Tidal 55 Filter, heater holder, telescoping intake pipe, leveling dial, foam filter, Matrix™ bio-media, and an instruction manual.
