It’s a great filter! Thanks for watching!

Not sure on that one. May depend on what size you get. Mine is the smallest size, AC20, but the larger sizes may have a big enough lid that it works out fine. But yes it does have some slant to it

I would love a video with audio of the filter running to hear how load it is

I show the sound of the filter in this video PROBLEMS With The New Fluval Aquaclear Filter 2024 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8SqPUCps07c.html

Thanks for watching !

What about the aqua clear did you hate? Thanks for watching!

Tidals don't fit into every acrylic aquarium tank. Also I wish the tidal had the option to turn off the skimmer during feeding

@@MichaelTilly-df4rf thanks for watching !

​@@MichaelTilly-df4rf if you just turn the dial on the top it slows it down so it doesn't hold the food. With these new aqua clears you have to take the whole lid off to do those adjustments.

Every retailer that currently sells aquaclear filters online and in store, once they are no longer sold out. The first batch sold out immediately at the wholesale level so many dealers couldn’t even put in an initial order. My guess a few more months at least. You may see them pop up online here and there but just make sure it’s a legit website before you place an order. Thanks for watching !

My local pet store still only carry the old ones and I haven’t seen the new ones available online

@@robindhood9125 I called Fluval and they said the new ones will be shipping mid September.

@@robindhood9125 I just saw the new model in Petco for the first time today they were already sold out of the bigger models

@@skepticalaquatics My LFS says they were only released to a few retailers at first. He says they are now going to be available to any retailer that wants them. You should be able to find one this week, ask your retailer.

carbon is nothing you should put in your filter long term. Legit no idea why the Aquaclear still comes with it.

It’s funny you bring that up, there’s always been an argument in the planted tank world that the carbon insert removes any liquid fertilizer you may add. There’s actually a discussion on Reddit happening right now about it in r/plantedtank

Yes, I saw Fluval put that out recently on Facebook, the old media will fit the new filter basket :)

@@skepticalaquatics yeah I just dont see any benefit in adding carbon.You are much better off squeezing in some purigen instead.

@@BabycakesBeats yeah i hear you. i did a internet deep dive google session on purigen a while back and this was a really good website I found that tested it doing different things aquariumscience.org/index.php/7-4-6-purigen/

I think the problem most retailers are having right now is the entire first batch sold out before it hit shelves. I think within the next few weeks we will start seeing it online and in store. I would keep a close eye on amazon to do a big sale on the old model in the meantime.
