Fluval 207 Perfomance Canister Filter - for Aquariums Up to 45 Gallons - Aquarium Canister Filter

Happy with this filter so far. Easy to do filter maintenance and setup. Works great, bought the spray bar option, wish is was included in the filter package. It’s a bit tall vs the fx series so a little tight where my access holes are in the stand for routing tubing but does the job.

I now own two of these awesome 407 Series 7 filters from Fluval. I won one of these several months ago and finally set it up. This filter is quiet and efficient. As you can see in the picture the water is crystal clear in my slightly overstocked 55 gallon community. Also the size of the filter does not take up a lot of space, I have it in a recycle pail from a local chain store in case of any leaks (No leakes to date). The new design is efficient in clearing even the smallest particles in the water column, it is set up for easy cleaning and has enough capacity for diy'g you own media make it more efficient. In the several months of being in service, the only time you have noise, is when the water level drops and if it's not in time when I am doing a water change, I lower the flow and problem solved until the next water change. The flow control can also be used to reduce the flow while feed. The have now introduced a UV clarifier, a skimmer and a spray bar. The unit comes with a spray wand, which works well at breaking up the surface allowing for better gas exchange. I am thinking of adding the spray for better tank circulation and rotation of the column of water in a rolling motion front to back as opposed to just moving the top level of water around tank. This will add to better cleaning, surface agitation and gas exchange. In my opinion this is a great filter and alternative to a larger canister which may be overkill in certain situations. It moves water and the GPH is 383 US Gal/h. Most times the MFGR's states the GPH w/o media in the filter. A canister that won't break the bank and is not huge if you want to hide the filter under or behind the tank, depending on the size of the stand. I own a few different canister from other manufacturers and this one is a cut above. Check it out, I think you will be happy.

Good volume, good flow, quiet, leak-free, it brings everything you need to install it.

Outstanding Filter. Once my son got the o-ring on the right way due to my mistake, it primed up easily and has been working like a charm for 2 weeks. Before this we were changing the water 2-3 times a week. Right now the water is crystal clear. Tank just needs a light fishnet scooping for bigger debris but the filter is worth the investment.By the way we are running it for a rather large red eared slider in about 10 gallons of water.Will be getting another one for my own 40 gallon cichlid tank.

This is my 4th Fluval filter for two 40 gallon tanks The first three were Fluval 207s. One is still working great, water is crystal clear and the little 207 is absolutely silent and it has been working for years. This recent purchase was my first 307. I did not have time to set it up initially. I installed it on Feb 28. It does not work at all as of today. The first time it stopped working was 72 hours after an uneventful set up, I came in and it was making a loud noise, the cannister was hot, and there was no output. I unplugged and opened. It looked perfect. I emptied the canister, plugged back in, and repeatedly used the manual pump. Eventually, it started up. A loud noise remained. The tank cleared up. This event has now reoccurred 4 times. But this AM, I could not get it going. So a 40 gallon tank is sitting with no filter and a good sized res. I got a 307 that is good for up to 70 gallons for a 40 gal tank becsuse I wanted to get a larger tank soon so I upgraded to a 307. I will now deal with customer service. If that goes well. I will remain a loyal Fluval customer. If not? No way would I risk getting in this situation again. I am unable to afford another filter not even a month after getting this one and the tank can also not remain unfiltered. This is not good.

I’m a first time user of this type of filter and I have to say that it works great especially compared to the HOB type of filters. The quality of this filter is really good as well.
