Seachem Tidal 55 Polishing Pad,

Exceptional filtration in aquariums up to 55 US gallons. 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. 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. 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. 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. The 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. A heater can be attached to the side with an optional heater clip, allowing for better dispersal of heated water through the aquarium. 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. The flow on the pump is adjustable using the dial on the front. A dial on the side of the filter adjusts how much flow comes from the underwater intake versus the surface skimmer.
