If the filter starts to drip from the right side (Figure 3) of the
return flow wall, it indicates that the filter media basket is
completely clogged. Water in this case is bypassing filter
media and a thorough cleaning is necessary to maintain the
overall health of the aquarium.
To begin cleaning the filter:
1) Lift the cover, and remove the filter media basket by
pulling up on the two side handles.
2) Turn the cover over and set the filter media basket into the
slots on the cover. You can now carry the filter media basket
to a cleaning area without spilling or dripping water.
3) Remove the bag of Matrix™ biological media, any
chemical filtration media and the foam filter.
4) Rinse the foam filter thoroughly. Do not use any soaps
or detergents as these can harm aquarium inhabitants.
Rinse or replace any chemical filtration media as necessary.
Replacement filtration packs designed specifically for
Tidal™ Filter units (Matrix™, MatrixCarbon™, and Zeolite)
are sold separately.
The bag of Matrix™ biological media contains important
bacteria for the stability of the aquarium environment. Do not
allow the media to dry out. The media can be rinsed gently
in a container with some of the water from the aquarium to
remove any slime coating that may build up on the media
over time. If the Matrix™ media is replaced it is advisable to
replace no more than half of the media at any time so as to
protect the bacteria culture that allows for a stable aquarium
environment. At this time we would suggest re-seeding
the aquarium with Seachem Stability™. Rinse the filter
media basket. Reassemble media and all components
in reverse order.
