    I'm glad they didn't put the pump in the tank. I burned 2 tidals because plant debris gets stuck in the pump and burns the motor. So went back to aquaclear and works great!

    I have used Aquaclear filters for almost 30 years. One of my filters is 15 years old and still works perfectly. I find that if you keep your water high, they re-start on their own, no problem. I have not had issues with the propellers or the tubes getting plugged or anything like that. I find that with regular maintenance everything works great!

    I recently purchased an AC50 and I was doing maintenance and took the J tube right out and cleaned the sponge. when I restarted the filter it started right away. Seems to be a good quality, quiet filter. So far very pleased 👍🏼

    Aquaclear was my go-to aquarium filter for many years, before Fluval bought them, until I saw your review of the SeaChem Tidal. I agree with your assessment of both filters 100%.

    I agree you can’t get a better HOB than the Seachem filters. My one knock is the skimmer. It should have a way to close it. I prefer the water being drawn from the bottom of the tank. Waste tends to sink to the bottom of the tank. the AC 110 is still 🎉a great filter. I have had one for about 15 years. I ran it for years. I use it as a backup now. A few weeks ago I had a canister filter go bad. Pulled the old filter off the shelf, plugged it in and it works as good as the day I bought it. Plenty of room to take bio media out of the canister and put on top of the sponge.

    I'm also glad they didn't put the pump in the tank. I've always used pre filter sponges on all my HOB filters. Because the pre filter sponge needs to be cleaned so often. it is much easier to slowly lift the intake tube out of the filter with the sponge and clean it. On filters with the pump in the tank, you have to stick your hand in the tank to remove the sponge and a lot more debris falls off the sponge.

    The AquaClear 110 is my favorite Hang on the Back filter. The Tital is good, but jeez-o-peet do I hate that skimmer feature. I also really hate that the draw attention to the hardware by making the dials that wonky blue color. Personally, I have never ever had a problem with my 110s not starting back up after a power outage. The only time they need help is when I do water changes that take the water in the tank down below the intake. I do liie that the Tidal doesn't have that issue. If I have one complaint about the AC product, its that the sponge will sometimes become buoyant and float to the top, pushing the lid up and exposing all the media to the air. Again, the 110s have never had that issue. The 50s (I think they're 50s) have it all the time. If they have successfully fixed that issue with the redesign, that will make Whip a happy happy boy.

    Aqua clear is a staple and I’ve known it literally all my life. Great video and great break down! It would neat to see if it could do a dry start but no worries either, that might happen once in a while if the entire filter is removed for cleaning and if you use power heads to pump water from your aquarium it could suck the water right out resulting in a dry run but not exactly everyday or accidental either. Love it and thank you for sharing, stay happy and healthy my friend!!! 😊❤

    After reading the reviews of the Tidals I can tell you it's still the ACs for me. Since my aunt gave me one with my very first tank as a child in the 80s all the way to now it's been the best design and remains that.
    Quiet, simplicity of good design, consistent product quality and media capacity all are very important to me and AC cornered the market on it. I'm nervous about buying the "Fluval" if I ever need a new one.

    Too me hands down seachem Tidal is numero uno, I have had aquaclear for years and as soon as I saw your review on the seachem, I had to buy one and try myself and boy oh boy l, it did not disappoint, I actually replaced all my aquaclears with seachem (2 110s and 2 35s). The deal breakers were the pump inside the aquarium, the surface skimmer and the filter basket ease for cleaning. Thanks for the review and love the channel!

    Funny timing on the video. One of my local fish shops actually did have them. Not only did they have them, they were giving out a free filter to the first dozen people who brought an old model in and trade it for that new one, no matter the size (I brought an old 20/30 and got a 50).

    I have a 150 gallon African Cichlid tank that has a Tidal 110 on one side and an AC 110 (old type) on the other side. They both run flawlessly. If I had to pick one it would be the Tidal mostly due to the pump in the tank and the ease of maintenance. But, I still like the Aqua Clear too. Also, the Tidal blends in way better with my black background.

    I don't have the new Fluval but I've been using an AC50 for a couple of years. I love it. The only time it doesn't restart is if there's not enough water left in it. If you don't move it or remove any of that water it will always start back up again. I only need to prime it when I remove the filter to clean it.

They are both great but we did choose the Tidal to replace having another AC 110 because of the power failure issue. Will replace the old AC110 when we get a hold of it with the new. I wish you would do a side by side comparison on the tank. For example which has better flow adjustment, which is quieter, etc

    Marineland makes the best simply because of the flow, but Oase is a close second because of the built in heater. Marineland sits low and has a bevel to shoot the water across the surface giving great surface agitation, and you can just use poly-filter as media.

    @gmoorach 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Based on my experience with AquaClear filters, the only reason it won't restart is if the siphon breaks. And if your water level is high enough it shouldn't be an issue.
    I run a Tidal 100. I like it. But, it is more difficult to clean the filter housing. All sorts of debris gets trapped behind the skimmer area. And it cannot be completely opened up.
    I don't like the change to AquaClear 70 and smaller filter basket. The vertical divider interferes with the ability to customize media any way you want.

  • @frhaber
    @frhaber 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    From what I could see in various video, besides adding the 'nipple' control, they should modify the 'tabs' between the foam and media bags from a solid piece to a grated style. I think that would maximize the flow through the foam, not block it. All my HOBs are now Seachem, save one AquaClear, which still a 50/50 gamble if it will restart after maintenance/power outage.

    I've had an Aquaclear on a 20 long for probably three years now, and it's always come right back up after a power outage. My only real peeve with it is I need to clean the impeller more often than any other filter I have. On a different note, if you haven't yet, you need to check out Spiritbox, John. I think Lisa would probably like some of their songs. Courtney has a beautiful singing voice, but she can also get rough like Corey Taylor. The guitarist has sick riffs, and they rhythm section are super talented. Start off with Circle With Me, Jaded, and Rules of Nine. Then check out Silk in the Strings, Cellar Door, and Yellowjacket. Maybe make one of those popular, couples reaction video lol.

    I know you love the Tidals. But I had problems with 3 different Tidals I owned. I had 2 110 and 1 75. All 3 were very loud and all 3 had bypass when cranked up to full.
    If you want the filters to start back up at power outages reliably, you need to do two things:
    1. Replace the impeller shaft. They're a wear and tear item that wears out over time.
    2. Lubricate the impeller shaft with a little bit of silicon grease.
    If any of my Aquaclears won't start after a power outage, I pull out the impeller shaft, and I usually find that they're worn and rusted. I've started to replace my impeller shafts every year. That might be overkill, and you may be able to go every 2 years.

    I have an aquaclear 110 that I turned into a overflow for my marineland c530 canister filter by replacing the motor with a bulkhead. This is a huge missed opportunity for an accessory option with the FX line of filters it took them decades to make an official spray bar option. This gives me the surface agitation and makes chemical filtration easier as I don't have to tear down the canister to get the chemical media out.

    What stoped you to drain X cm from the rim and simulate power outage?
    And find out IF or WHEN at the number of cm approximately until it will not start back up again..❤
    I guess it will still perform worse than having the the pump outside. But we dont know.😅
    Or if the enhancments is making ANY difference at all.🤔
    In other words there is a lot more desired for the testing procedure than just plug and unplug.😂
    Thanks for the video!❤

    I don’t like pumps in my tanks. plus I was going to say I’ve never had a problem with everclears and power outages

    The 110 still uses the old pump, I believe.

    I live off grid and power off my home every time I leave. I have had ZERO issues with my old style aqua clear restarting when I power back on. It has been off for days and still restarts with zero issues.
    I really don't understand the problem people are having

    • @Itsjustme-Justme
      @Itsjustme-Justme 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They don't restart when the water level is too low, when the pump is way too dirty and when a totally worn out pump axle creates too much play or too much drag. Water level and dirt are by far the most important factors.

    I would totally just place an inline pump in the tank below the waterline.

    I use the seachem 55 and fluval fluval c3 no issues with them but the aquaclear was horrible.even if my filter sponge wasn't clogged it would still float up.and for it did not agitate the surface of the water that much

    I just need a lower spillway / higher rim on my Aquaclear. It has pumped out half of my 20g twice from overflowing out the back.

      @adelinawarriner6259 I always had the little bottom leveler piece maxed out. I've put two pieces of cardboard under the leveler now, and it still sometimes gets closer to the edge than I'm comfortable with. If anything, it may be that it's off level to the right, rather than to the back.

    I'm 100% biased.... When it comes to hang on back filters vs anything else... But I personally don't think any company is the best... If you know how to keep an aquarium any of them work.. I have used marine land longer than anything else and always have had clear water... Tetra whisper always have clear water aqueon fluval I think it doesn't matter... Prior to anything from today sponge filters are still working out for people... So that tells you something about "filtration" and overpriced things in the hobby ...

    Sorry to say but i hated my seachem tidal. It now sits in my shed. Because the motor is inside the tank in my heavenly planted tank it was always cloged up. I had to take it apart every week and cleaned it.

    Would the 110-alone.. be enough for a 55g? I'm assuming yes but would still love an answer. Looking to upgrade my HOB that came with my 55 as I dont think it's efficient. Ty
