Description
Seachem Tidal Filter 55
Exceptional filtration in aquariums up to 55 US gallons (200 Liters).
Features
Ventilation slots
Ventilation slots in the lid of the filter and aeration grooves in the outflow ensure that water returned to the tank is fully oxygenated and maximize gas exchange during filtration.
Bottom-to-top flow
The pump pushes water up into the basket of the filter, entering through the bottom of the basket and being pushed out the top. A bottom-to-top flow ensures that water comes into contact will all filter media, and cannot go around or over filter media as with hang on back filters with a back-to-front flow.
Maintenance alert
Over time, filtration media can become clogged with detritus reducing or obstructing the flow of water through it. When this happens in Tidal filters, water is redirected around the filter and back into the aquarium through an outlet on the side. The redirected water pushes up the blue maintenance alert on the top of the filter, signaling that the filter needs to be cleaned.
Surface skimmer
The surface skimmer will capture the water from just below the surface, where excreted fish oils accumulate, as well as deeper in the tank removing floating debris
Telescoping intake pipe
The adjustable telescoping intake allows water to be taken from any level of the tank without the need to stop the filter or bother with spare parts
Flow regulation
The flow on the pump is adjustable using the dial on the front
Intake flow regulation
A dial on the side of the filter adjusts how much flow comes from the underwater intake versus the surface skimmer
No filter cartridges
The filter basket has a huge capacity to hold filtration media of your choice in the configuration of your choice. All Tidal Filters come with Seachem's Matrix bio-media to get you started.
No mess maintenance
The basket is fully removable and snaps into the lid of the filter for easy and drip-free transit to a sink or hose for cleaning.
Self-priming pump
Self-priming pump means there is no need to fill the filter basket with water, start a siphon, monitor the filter, or any of the other headaches of starting a new filter
Self-cleaning impeller
The self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant impeller is suited for both saltwater and freshwater environments. This cuts down on maintenance and makes the filter suitable for a wide range of environments.
Adjustable leveling device
A leveler on the base of the filter lets the filter adjust to a variety of aquarium styles
Heater holder
A heater can be attached to the side with an optional heater clip, allowing for better dispersal of heated water through the aquarium.
3 year warranty
All Tidal Filters are guaranteed against defects of materials and workmanship for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase, except for the pump’s impeller. This can be extended to 5 years by registering your filter. The warranty covers the replacement of the defective parts.
The Seachem Tidal Filter 55 - 950 Litres per hour is a hang-on-back filter — see our guide to choosing the right aquarium filtration system for how HOB filters compare to canister and internal options.
Specifications

Compatibility
Freshwater and marine. The impeller shaft is a corrosion-resistant metal chosen to survive salt water.
Allow 7.5 cm of clearance behind the aquarium. The Tidal 55 adds a heater holder and a telescoping intake pipe over the Tidal 35.
Setup & Use
The pump is self-priming: there is no need to fill the basket or start a siphon by hand, and it restarts on its own after a power cut.
Hang the unit on the rim, set the telescoping intake to the depth you want, plug it in. The impeller is self-cleaning and the cover is reversible so the outflow can face either way. An aquarium heater can be clipped into the holder inside the filter body, which keeps it out of sight in the display.
Rinse the foam in old tank water rather than under the tap, and replace it only when it falls apart — the bacteria living in it are the filter, and washing them down the sink is the usual cause of a cycle crash after a clean.
Safety & Precautions
Run the filter only when it is fully submerged at the intake — running it dry will destroy the impeller.
Unplug it at the mains before putting your hands in the tank or opening the unit. Leave a drip loop in the cable so water running down the flex drips off before it reaches the socket.
What's in the Box
The filter unit with pump and telescoping intake assembly, heater holder, a mechanical foam filter, and 250 mL of Seachem Matrix biological media.
Warranty & Support
Seachem guarantees Tidal filters against defects of materials and workmanship for 3 years from the date of purchase, extendable to 5 years by registering the filter. The pump impeller is excluded.
Warranty support is handled by us directly. Message our WhatsApp support with your order number and we will diagnose the fault first — most cases are solved by replacing a single part, so you rarely need to send the whole unit. If the item does need to come back, it ships to our Delhi or Pune warehouse, whichever one served your order, and courier cost in both directions is borne by the customer. Your GST invoice is valid proof of purchase for the claim.
Returns & Replacement
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery, provided the item is unused and in its original packaging. Manufacturer-sealed items cannot be returned once the seal is broken, and sale-priced items are not refundable.
If your item arrives defective or damaged, message us on WhatsApp with your order number — or email us, if you would rather — and we will replace it. Approved replacements are delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Transit damage is covered by insurance on every shipment. If tracking shows delivered but nothing reached you, tell us within 72 hours, which is the reporting window Indian couriers allow. Damage caused during installation or use is not covered; replacement spares for such cases are chargeable.
