  1. In case you missed it, here is the original thread: I want to start off by specifying a few ground rules here and clarify, succinctly, about some of previous results here. How to improve the Seachem Tidal Filters: Phase 1 (No tools or permanent mods) -Replace foams in the filter basket -Verify basket is not overstuffed -Remove air from media bag and tuck as much as possible -Set flow down one "tick" Phase 2 (Easy mods, no power tools needed) -Requires All Phase 1 Mods -Cut bottom grates of basket to improve input flow -Seal basket "window" cutout and all small bypass holes in the filter basket Phase 3 (Full mods, major change to how filter functions) -Requires All Phase 2 and Phase 1 Mods -Seal skimmer grate with silicone -Seal pump housing grates with silicone -Cut slots in bottom of Intake tube -Add prefilter sponge "What's the goal for this project now?" you might ask..... The goal is that I need to verify things we tested previously on a larger filter. This gives us a larger sample size, more information, and a different pump/impeller design to work with. This also has some slight variations compared to the original mods. I also plan to get the information for each phase of upgrades to be more clear and easier to reference for those interested. This is one of the filters I originally did some testing with. You'll see some remnants of that testing here. Holes in the base of the basket Added Coarse - Medium - Fine Foams Skimmer eating plants Basket tab broke one me 😞 Here are some of the things we're going to use for the mods on this filter: First, to clean everything, I use 91-99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Before adding silicone on anything, it is usually recommended to remove oils and prep the surface this way. For the more permanent mods: I will go ahead and add more details here shortly with the mods completed. Needless to say, we're basically ready to go any second now!
