k0olmini Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 In recent live streams @Cory has been saying there have been some quirks with the Tidal line. I am currently using one of these filters. Has anyone had an issues with these filters? I want to know for future tanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Burke Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I’m not sure what he’s talking about. I love my tidal 75. 2 years, no problem, running strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I made a thread to break down basically everything step by step as I fix things. I have used every model of tidal for a while and done a lot of these same "fixes" on all of them in order to get them to work a bit better. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have specifically. Despite the issues, they are still the best HoB for me on the market. A lot of other people have moved to using the Fluval X07 series canisters for larger tanks as well.

AndEEss Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Nothing. I just cut each layer to the same shape as the stock foam, but expanding in size for each subsequent layer going upwards. The tray gets bigger towards the top, and I believe my top-most layer is 1/2” longer (long dimension) and 1/4” deeper (front to back) than the tray. This allows it to be pushed into place and stay there. I have 6” of foam in one and 4” + K1 media in the other. I have a heavily planted 75g with a good number of fish; 25 corydoras, 4 yoyos, 8 Colombian tetras and 6 Otocinclus. Never had a trace of ammonia after my initial cycle.
