Seachem Tidal Filter by Sicce 75 Gallon

I have a 35gallon tank that is filled with platys gone wild. What started out with five exploded to at least fifty. So pulled out all the plants and bought the oversized SeaChem 75 to handle the biological load. I considered a canister filter but I wanted something simple to maintain and more or less leak proof. This filter checks all those boxes. It is fairly quiet and the only noise I notice is the babbling water. My vibrating air pump masks the rest. I also like the fact that there aren't any hoses snaking inside and outside the tank. The filter does a good job filtering the water. It is clear and I rarely see any fish waste. Customizing the filter media is simple. The only quibble I have is the flow control. For example it would nice to have a way to cut off all flow to the surface skimmer. In comparison to the canister filter I was considering, this filter is 1/3 the price for good performance without the headaches. After a month, I'm happy with my decision.

Filter worked intermittently. Works for a minute, stops for 3/4 minutes, then works for a minute or so again before stopping for 3/4 minutes. Returned. Not worth the hype. Stick to Eheim/Aquael.

Excelente filtro.

The Seachem HOB filters are excellent. They are quiet, have flow control, water intake control, a motor that's in the water which means it is self-priming and will restart if the power goes out, and they are very customizable in terms of media. You can customize the media just like a cannister filter, but they are much easier to clean than a cannister filter. I have a 110 and a 55 on my 55 gallon tank and they keep the water crystal clear.

He probado 3 marcas de filtros de este tipo y por lejos este es el mejor, es silencioso, tiene muchísimo espacio para materiales filtrantes, ya viene con buena cantidad de Matrix, los materiales de fabricación se perciben resistentes y de buena calidad, su funcionamiento y mantenimiento es sumamente sencillo, han pensado en muchos detalles en su diseño, el skimmer de superficie funciona bien, pero si el nivel de agua está muy alto le cuesta atrapar las partículas, se puede regular el caudal hasta dejarlo casi en cero. El único detalle que le veo es que cuesta un poco sacar la tapa donde está la bomba, esa pieza es un poco ancha y se tiene que apretar y jalar al mismo tiempo, fuera de eso lo recomiendo ampliamente si buscas un filtro de este tipo.
