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?

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.

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.
