Product Information
Full details
The Seachem Tidal Filter Foam - 75 is an essential mechanical filtration accessory designed specifically for owners of the Tidal 75 Hang-On Filter. It is ideal for aquarium hobbyists who prioritize pristine water clarity and want to protect their biological and chemical media from being overwhelmed by detritus. While it excels at trapping large particles and suspended solids, users must remember that this is a mechanical component and requires regular maintenance to prevent flow obstruction.

FAQs
Can I use this foam in other filter brands?
This foam is specifically designed for the Tidal 75. It may not provide an adequate seal in filters from other manufacturers.
How often should I replace the foam?
Replace the foam when it shows signs of deterioration or when rinsing no longer restores proper water flow.
Should I wash the foam with tap water?
No. Always rinse in tank water to protect the beneficial bacteria living inside the foam.
Does this foam also provide biological filtration?
Yes, while primarily mechanical, the large surface area of the foam encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Why is it a 2-pack?
The 2-pack allows you to have a replacement ready so you can maintain consistent filtration without downtime.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow through the filter
The foam is likely clogged with debris. Remove the foam and rinse it thoroughly in a bucket of aquarium water.
Filter bypass (water flowing around the foam)
Check to ensure the foam is properly seated and flush against the sides of the filter basket. Replace the foam if it has become deformed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Perfect, no-gap fit for the Tidal 75 filter basket
- Effectively traps large debris and suspended waste
- Supports biological filtration alongside mechanical duties
- Easy to remove and rinse during routine tank maintenance
Cons
- Requires regular manual rinsing to prevent clogging
- Designed exclusively for the Tidal 75 model
- Foam can eventually lose structural integrity over long-term use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply slide the foam insert into the designated slot within your Tidal 75 filter basket. Ensure it is seated firmly against the bottom to prevent bypass.
Regarding care, inspect the foam weekly. If you notice a reduction in the water flow rate, it is a clear indicator that the foam is saturated with debris and needs cleaning. Always use water from your aquarium when rinsing the foam, as chlorine found in tap water will kill the beneficial bacteria colony. Replace the foam periodically if the material begins to break down or if it no longer retains its original shape.
