k0olmini Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I know Cory is all about the Aquaclear as the best HOB. The Tidal line is the new kid on the block. Anyone who has both have any feedback on them? Some people have said the with the way the Tidals are design they are more like glorified water pumps. Input?

tekjunkie28 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I love the motor in the aquarium but beyond that I don't like the tidal. I don't likenwater skimming either. It can take in too much of their food. The AC are ok but they bypass like no other and can be noisy unless you apply silicone grease to the impeller shaft. I would still get an ac but my marineland is silent and runs great. Mod it and its perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prochaska Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’ve used both and like my tidals, quieter and easier to hot rod. I think the skimmer is more of a gimmick than anything. Love how they prime themselves as well! Also the heater holder is a very nice touch and I don’t see “hotspots” in my tanks anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
