Deletes Surface Skimming
Makes Seachem Tidal Filters safer for fry and shrimp
Angled intake to position pre-filter sponge off back wall of aquarium

The hang on Back Optimizer solves the biggest complaint with Tidal filters, the surface skimming, side skimming, and unprotected intake on the Tidal 35. We've optimized this 3D printed intake to replace the stock intake and cover. This allows all the suction to come in from our intake. The filter is further optimized when you install a medium coarse pre filter sponge on the 35/55 and a large coarse pre filter sponge on the 75/110. This intake helps to keep your floating plants from getting sucked into the surface skimmer. Note that tiny shrimplets and very small fry can still get into the pre-filter sponge. It's recommended to raise fry with sponge filters only, or turn down the flow on the Tidal filters to maximize fry survival.

1

Surface Skimmer Delete

This filter optimizer resolves one of the primary complaints with the Tidal filters: the unprotected surface skimmer. The surface skimmer on the tidal filter can prevent the filter from operating with low water levels, and sucks in your floating plants, shrimp, small fish, and even snails.

2

Protect Your Filter Motor

This optimizer allows you to use a pre filter sponge that will help keep debris from entering the filter motor, which can extend the operating lifespan.

Care for 3D printed items

Clean in cool tap water and air or towel dry, avoid exposure to high heat and direct sunlight.

After a good deal of research, I'd selected a Tidal 35 for my little guppy tank and have been very happy with it, but also kind of wanting to try adding some Neocaridina shrimp to the community and understanding that the stock Tidal 35's intake and surface skimmer might not be safe for them. At that point I stumbled upon a Youtube video showing the HOB Filter Optimizer. What a clever and awesome solution to my problem. It was very easy to install and has been working perfectly.

Just installed the "Hang on Back Filter Optimizer" on one of my 110 Tidal filters and I'm very inpressed. I thought it might be more visable with the large course pre filter. But it blends right in on my 75 gallon tank. Going to wait a week and install the other one after my tank adjusts. Definitely 5 stars.

Easy to install. Feel much safer now with my pairs

Amazing difference with this optimizer! My nano fish and shrimp are now safe with the best filter out there!

It fits my tidal 55 filter as designed, the black foam filter must be ordered to fit this optimizer dimension. It works well and it sits away from the inside glass wall
