This is a slip on adapter I made to delete the skimmer on a Tidal 110 by directly attaching the intake to the pump. I believe it should also be compatible with the Tidal 75, but I do not have one to physically test. This design simply slips over the stock intake on the pump. It slips between the body of the filter and the place where the pump sits. It's designed to use the same intake accessories that came with the filter. I have included both a step file and the original freecad save file if you wish to edit the model to fit another sized intake tube.
I printed mine in PETG with a pretty standard profile. Print standing up.
DISCLAIMER: This design inherently limits flow rate. To what extent exactly, I am not sure. But to get it to fit between the filter and the pump without any destructive modifications, I had to limit how large I could make everything, as it is essentially a 90° adapter. I am happy with the flow, but if you need absolute maximum flow, this model may not be for you. But it's less than 10g of filament so id encourage you to try it out at the very least.
DISCLAIMER 2: In my photos, you can visibly see some modifications I made to the filter with silicone and plastic. These are NOT a part of this model. That is a previous attempt to delete the skimmer that did not satisfy me. It is in no way necessary for this model to work and I would actually discourage doing it.
I already have ideas about a v2 that replaces the interface on the pump that would allow for maximum flow rate, but only God knows when I'll actually get around to modeling that, so for now I put this out there for anyone who might need this. Follow me if that is something you are interested in. Another design exists by AquariumCoop, but they do not release the files to my knowledge and it makes me physically ill to think about spending money on a single printed PLA part. It would also seem to me that their design would be difficult to clean and maintain? But that is just my own thoughts on it.
