Getting ready to start up a new tank in the next couple of weeks. I figured I’d try a hob filter on it since it’s a 20 gallon tank and ordered the seachem tidal. Anyone here try this filter yet? If so I’d like to hear opinions on it

Thanks. I’m not a huge hob filter guy myself I don’t feel like drilling such a small tank and figured I’d try the hob route with this one to see what happens. I like that this filter basically has an open basket for whatever media I want to use and has a built in surface skimmerNever heard of it but HOB are one of the best options if you can't have a sump IMO. I'm sure you'll do fine!
Yup those are the exact reasons I went with this one and not the aquaclear. Plus having the pump inside the tank and not worrying about priming issues on start up was also a huge plusIMO the best HOB our there. Huge and flexible media basket plus surface skimming. Use a 110 on my QT.
I have them on my 20L qt tanks (2). Great power filter, replaced my aquaclears since if the power went out it was 50/50 if they'd resume or be grinding dry for hours.
