Seachem Tidal 75 Hang-On Filter 285L — High-Performance Hang-On-Back Power Filter with Surface Skimmer Pulls Out Floating Oils, Film, & Surface Debris

The Seachem Tidal 75 Hang-On Filter (SKU: 725212-6529) is a high-performance hang-on-back (HOB) power filter engineered in collaboration with Sicce to deliver exceptional filtration for aquariums up to 285 litres (75 US gallons). Designed with versatility and ease of maintenance in mind, the Tidal 75 features an integrated surface skimmer that pulls floating oils, film, and surface debris directly into the filter. Its submerged pump unit operates self-priming and whisper-quiet inside the aquarium, eliminating startup hassles after water changes.

The filter features a large media basket that accommodates a wide variety of biological, chemical, and mechanical filter media without forcing aquarists into proprietary cartridges. Key built-in conveniences include a fully adjustable flow control dial, a maintenance alert monitor that indicates when media requires cleaning, a self-cleaning impeller housing, and a heater attachment holder. The Tidal 75 provides efficient, quiet filtration for both freshwater aquascapes and marine environments.
