Joanie Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Looking for recommendations for an adjustable HOB filter for a 125 gallon. I have angelfish, emperor tetras and diamond tetras. My filters are on the way out and I would like to replace them with new ones that don’t have such a high water flow. I’m having difficulty finding something and would appreciate recommendations. I do cover the intake tubes with foam sleeves to help with manual filtration and add extra surface area for BB.

Kathy F Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I really like the Seachem Tidal series also and will stick with them for now but there is one issue you should be aware of. I have had more issues with impellers getting gunked up on the filter. I'm not sure if it is filter design or if it is the fact they are filtering a heavy bioload goldfish tanks but the first filters impeller got gunky w/in 6 weeks and the second filter followed about 3-4 weeks later. What I like is the self priming, lift out tray, strurdy plastic casing and that the manufacturer doesn't try to sell you those wasteful disposable cartridges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott P. Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I also run a Seachem Tidal. I like mine but the flow adjustment doesn't seem to do much. Other than that I really like it. I stack cutout sponge material in mine and hot glue a screen over the skimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
