Fluval 107 Perfomance Canister Filter - for Aquariums Up to 30 Gallons - Aquarium Canister Filter

I just got the 307 for my 40 gallon tank and it works great so far. It cleared up my tank in a couple of hours. Set up was easy after watching a couple of videos beforehand. Almost no noise from the filter itself, but I do hear the water a little more because of the extra flow. Not enough to bother though. I highly recommend

Let me just start off with saying I don’t think I will ever go back to a HOB filter! I was using a AC50 and 70 Fluval HOB filters on my 55 Gallon tank! And they worked fine but it was an eye sore when looking at them just hanging there, and there was not a lot of room for filter media! I decided to get an upgrade to the Fluval 407 Canister filter and I will not go back! This filter is sleek, easily concealed even with an open bottom tank stand, quite as a mouse, keeps my water crystal clear, has crazy suction and water flow! Hands down super good! It is a bit pricey but it is worth the money! I was a little confused when it arrived and I started setting it up as in the box is only 1 tube, I did not know that you needed to cut it, but that could be my fault as I always assume I know what I’m doing. But super easy to set up with or without directions (I would read the directions just in case)! After you unbox and set up you siphon the water in as directed and once there are no more bubbles, you plug the bad boy in and you just let it go once it’s set up there’s nothing you need to do besides the occasional maintenance and that’s also super easy 10 out of 10!!

Before this filter I ran a 404 from 2011 until 2019, so I was pretty confident buying another Fluval. The 7th gen is fundamentally the same but with a lot of quality of life upgrades since the 4th gen. It is super quiet and low power at only 16 watts. The black/red aesthetic is sleek and black hoses/nozzles blend in easily with a dark background. The new priming mechanism and the media tray handle are the best upgrades by far. In terms of raw filtration, it does a great job at keeping my water crystal clear. Overall it's a great filter that's easy to setup, use, and maintain. Now the only negative thing I have to say about the *07 filters (due to fact I am coming directly from the old *04) is that this generation feels somewhat 'cheap'? The main canister housing itself feels like a thinner or lighter plastic. And more noticeably the media baskets and basket lid feel flimsy. My lid was warped when I opened it up and didn't sit flush on the top basket. But for all I know this could be a lighter, more durable plastic than 10 years ago? Either way, if it can last 8+ years like my 404 then I am happy. 3 months and no problems so far.

Works Excellent. Had my 55 gallon tank clear in 2 days after easy installation!!...Worth every Penny & was cheaper than the Pet Stores!..

I have had ongoing issues with the 407 model. I purchased my first 407 February of 2020. Since that time I have had to replace the motor head 4 times. A few times I had to replace it urgently and just bought the filter again entirely. My newest motor head is number 5! Having had an older Fluval model for years it seems like a significant defect. I have recently identified that the fail point is the same each time. The impeller cover does not properly engage. This took me years to figure out why the 407 would just stop filtering properly. For some reason the impeller cover disengages with the water pressure during filter operation. When cleaning and clipping in impeller cover, it clicks and seems to engage but can’t stay engaged properly. Improper sealing makes filtration completely ineffective. A few times I noticed the tiny plastic clips in motor head were damaged over time and I thought this was the cause (pictured) but my newest one, same problem and no damage. It literally did not work from DAY ONE. I have spent hundreds maybe thousands of dollars on new parts, and over and over this filter fails. I recently tried fixing seal with PTFE tape and that also did not fix the issue! I can’t believe that I am the only one with these issues!? Either it’s a significant flaw in the design of this model or I just have the worst filter luck ever! I have a turtle that I’ve had 15+ years. I’ve owned nothing but Fluval filters since day one. I have been happy with them up until the 407. UPDATE: Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corp. also has terrible customer service! When I finally wrote this review I reached out to Fluval and said that my 5th motor head failed. I bought from Fluval Aquatics direct - Motor Head for 407 - $84.99 - Motor Head Maintenance Kit for 407 - $32.99 - Intake/Output Kit for 307/407 - $41.99 With tax and shipping I spent another $176 on 11/17/24. I emailed them 12/24/24 to say I’d like to return these parts and this was their reply: Dear [Customer], We thank you for taking the time to contact us. Sorry to hear that happened, unfortunately we do not that apologies. Thank you, Julio Sherwood Customer Service Dept. Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corp.

Pros - Easy set up - Fits plenty of media - Stable - Good all round filter Cons - In my opinion it is slightly too loud for bedroom use, you will hear a quiet loud humming noise (my hearing is good so take my word). However I have tried my best to fill up my cabinet under the tank to try muffle the sound as much as possible but it’s still somewhat loud. - Inlet and Outlet tubes are too thick for a Fluval Roma meaning you will have to either cut into your Lids or the plastic frame on the tank... - Both tubes can tap on glass or wall through the vibration of the canister so a few extra suctions cups thrown in would be handy. - Should include a Fluval Spray Bar Side note: If you have anything under a 200L tank do not buy the 407 because even at the lowest outflow setting it will be too powerful for fish that prefer slow moving water like Betta’s. I have just about got the right flow for my 200L by including a spray bar and having the outflow at the lowest setting.

Depuis mon achat, zéro problème ( 2021). Facile d’installation et d’entretient. Une taille parfaite ( moyenne) mais puissance adéquate pour mon aquarium ( 120L).

Tek kelime ile canavar. 500lt akvaryumum icin aldım debisi ciddi yüksek. Akvaryumdan iç filtre dalga motoru ne varsa çıkardım. Tek başına her şeyi yapıyor. Boyutlarıda gayet makul .Ve çokta sessiz çalışıyor. Kalite tesadüf değil kesinlikle parasını hakediyor

Satıcı çok çabuk gönderim yaptı. Beklediğimden çabul elime ulaştı. Teşekkürler. Ürün çok sağlam, kurulumu basit. Akvaryumu temizlemesi gayet iyi. Bazı yorumlarda ürünün ciddi gürültülü çalıştığını okudum. Benim aldığımda da bir uğultu sesi duyuluyor. Bu durum normal mi bilmiyorum. Tv sesi açıkken bile duyuluyor. Bunun dışında memnunum

I have a 3x 207, 1x407 1x406 and fx6 across different tanks. The 207 is a great little eco work horse. Very efficient and cleaning. Relatively quiet. Good fit. I don't know why but eveytime I install I end up having an initial leak but after that touch wood they've been pretty solid. Maintenance is easy. Good value for money especially if you get it on sale. Much better than in tank filter.
