Thanks for the great video, helped me decide! One small point - when installing the O ring it's recommended to use a silicone lubricant to keep it in shape for longer.
That does look amazing. Looks like they've been paying attention to other brands like Oase and made suitable improvements. Can always add an in line heater rather that have to have it in the filter itself.
About 8 months ago your videos inspired me to go back into the hobby and Im glad I did it. My wife will love when I win this, she’s always saying my old marineland makes to much noise lol
I just replaced my AC with the Fluval 107 and I have to say I'm impressed with it so far. It's dead silent which is a big win for my tank seeing as it's display tank and my Axolotl seems happy.
The gasket is separate because it's oiled; it's contained in its own bag. If they left it installed, it would dry up. Great video - bought one based on this.
You do know you need 1 kilo of media to every 100L of water to see the best results for the beneficial bacteria to see a full Cycle. Not telling you how to su k eggs or anything. Hope this helps the rest of you to.
Man im just getting back ino the hobby after about 10 years without a tank. Man the technology and simplicity of most things had come a long way this looks so much better of a system then my old clunky wet dry setup
I think product reviews are one of my favorite kinds of videos. Really enjoying following along with the fish room build. I have been considering a canister for some time to go on my 65 gallon cichlid tank but my bank account says I have to stick with hobs for now which is okay. Thanks for the great content.
My Fluval 406 just died 2 weeks ago, so I am currently running as backup a MARINELAND MAGNUM and a Ziss Bubbler on my 90 gallon aquarium. I like the way the baskets remove from the 407 as shown in your demo! Thank you John & Lisa for being such a great source of information.
I'm not going to win. That's not the point. I wanted to thank you for giving home for cats I saw in your video. I have three ex-stray cats and it is such a pleasure to see that someone else doing the same thing. I enjoy your channel too. Good luck everybody!
I have 2 aquaclear 20 and a whisper 10 HOB filters on my jungle val, electric blue acara, 55 gal. I would love to FINALLY get rid of them and be able to have my first ever canister filter. We Love you guys, my daughter and I have learned so much. Keep it up!
I can definitely agree to being a fluval “fan boy” they just have amazing high quality products ( kinda like your videos (high quality and amazing)) I look forward to seeing you Thursday for the giveaway announcement.
Been using fluval 305 on my 75gal for the last 7yrs with no issues, recently started to make noise ,during cleaning it I broke the ceramic shaft, I decided to upgrade to the 407 but it doesn't fit under my stand & I have no room on the sides either, since my 305 has been so faithful I bought the repair kit instead for $45 and running like new even water flow has increased & no more noise, I used all the basket media from the 407, I'll be upgrading to a taller stand in few months and will install the 407 then . Love Fluval
I have always been scared to use a canister filter! I have watched so many videos on different types and it just confuses me to no end! This video has changed my mind! You made me understand how they work, very easy!!! That 407 series makes it to where people like me can't mess up!!! Great job KG Tropicals and Fluval!!! I think it's time to take the plunge and get rid of my 2 hang on backs on my 55g!!! ❤🐟🐠🐡
awesome channel love all the help you and your wife give. i have had tanks for more then 10 years and i still learn news things form the two of you. you two are hero's in my book making a better place for fish to live
I purchased a 307 earlier this year, perhaps a little overkill for my 40 gallon breeder tank, but I LOVE IT, i don't think I could ever go back to HOT filters ever again after switching to a Fluval Canister, does everything they promise, and very customizable with the media trays.. I would highly recommend to anyone on the fence about them.
Hey John & Lisa; Long Long time listener and sometimes watcher. You have no idea how your live streams have kept my 16 hour drives from Florida to Pa or Md much more manageable. I definitely missed them while you were regrouping and focussing on you!!!! So glad your back and again last Thursday stream made the Friday drive so much less boring:) Huge fan of Fluval in all 13 of my tanks which is growing to 15 next month... Yep MTS is here in our house FO SHO!!!!! Thank-You again for all you do and so gald your dream fish room is coming alive!!
oh my yes yes yes please count me in!!! 55 gal low to ground needs filter so i can get it up and running! yes please show clean up of the filters when you do them.
Fluval is great! Thanks for all you have helped me with on my new hobby... 55gal cichlid 30gal community, 10gal frog n 20gal quarantine.... i have a new 55 gal. In saving up for a new canister
I have the Fluval FX4... I love how easy it is to do water changes using the FX4. The Fluval 407 look like another exceptional product.. I totally agree Fluval is an awesome product....
The distance your canister filter is under the tank has little effect on head pressure in a closed loop system. In most applications it’s only lifting the water 2 inches or less, which is the distance from the water line over the edge of the tank. Only if you were using the the canister to return water from a sump or other open body of water would the height matter. Now hose length, pipe diameter, inline equipment and bends in the pipes or tubes do effect head pressure and need to be considered. If you drill the canister into the tank instead of going over the rim you can actually add a little positive head to the system. More manufacturers need to make this clearer on their packaging. Sorry for the rant just a pet peeve of mine 😘
Hi John! Thanks for the video! I am new to the hobby and have only used HOB filters. I am very impressed with how easy the Fluval is to assemble! I have a 125 gal and would love to try out a canister filter! Fingers and toes crossed!
Literally just started watching you a month ago, bought my 55gal and just put in 5 yellow labs and have plans to get 5 electric blues next week. Running a Marineland hang on the back and was thinking of getting a fluval eventually when I can afford it. Would be great to win one. Thanks for all your cichlid information. I’m learning everything from you and aquarium co op
Thanks for sharing the unboxing. I have a 206 and im glad to see they added a handle system for the trays. Having to pull the trays out one by one is the only real gripe I’ve had with it.
Thank you for this video! I’m finally getting my first larger tank- 40 gallon- and wanted to upgrade my filtering system. This makes me feel much better about this new chapter!
I like it. If all else fails "read the instructions", said like a real man.😉 It may have improved with the 07 range but I found the 206 I have a bit noisy at first,apparently air gets stuck everywhere,but after about 4 weeks its runs almost silently.Just thought I'd mention it. I think Fluval got it right with these filters.
Hey love you channel! You guys have helped me so very much maintaining and caring for the fish I inherited from my father-in-law after he passed this last Easter. I am in love with the hobby and have started setting up my second 55 gallon tank. Keep up the great work.
Hey John, Been a fan of your channel before you left TH-cam for awhile and I actually got into African cichlids because of you and got mostly all of my information from your channel when I first started.
Hahaha.... I've had a Fluval 304 for more than 10 years in my 50g. It works flawlessly, so I've no need to replace it. BIG fan of the product but no need for another. Best of luck to the happy (I'm sure) winner.
I just bought a 150 gallon tank yesterday and started researching canister filters, and this morning I got the notification about this video. Very ironic but this filter seems to be really nice!
Nicely done as always, Bonus likes for the Kitty's! Kiddo's to Fluval to listening to their customers and updating and continuing to innovate some of the best products in the industry.
Love Fluval canisters! I have an older 206 on my 55 South American tank but need an upgrade. Love the black intake tube. Looks like they made some nice upgrades to the filters. Cute cats!
I was lucky enough to get a 407 for Christmas and man major upgrade from my old 305. Easily the most user-friendly filter for general maintenance and just general operation I've ever had.
Been watching your channel for a month now. Even as a bit of experienced hobbyist, I am still learning and wanting to know more. I look forward to seeing more.
I have been using a 704 sunsun canister filter for a couple of years. It kept the water in my 55 gal heavy planted tank crystal clear. It started leaking just before I left for vacation, so I went to the local pet store and bought the one he is setting up. I have added more polishing pads and other media. After three weeks the water still is not clear! I am going to order a new o-ring seal for the sunsun and the heck with this fluval!
I love my fluval 306 on my 125ltr .. now setting up a 180ltr and I deff don't want anything but a fluval on it too fingers crossed.. Nice vid keep up the good work
Would love one. My only complaint about the 6 series was AquaStop valve assembly durability. From other videos it has sounded like they have addressed this issue in this latest version. Have a 306 that I have had going strong for 5 years now.
John I love this presentation of the new Fluval filter. I have also watch your other Fluval videos. Thank you very much for all of your great content. Thank you, Domingo
Put hoses in tank at one end and out put at the other. This works best. I am using the 207 on my twenty nine gallon planted tank. I will also be using peat to lower the ph and make the water soft on my next water change. this is a great benefit for tetras and plants as well as other species.
Growing up my dad always had fishes but it wasn't until a few weeks ago. I started my own "collection" Currently have a 10gallon with a Betta but I will go bigger. Recently purchased a 35-40gal acrylic cylinder tank (if that makes any sense). Currently refurbishing in order to get rid of all of the scratches and making sure it's perfect.
Awesome program John. Just subscribed and joined, not because of the contest, but because your material, your comments and helpful suggestions are super. Sending you Tons of Aloha from Hawaii !!!
Kitties! I have an FX-4 on my 120 gallon Oscar tank. I have problems servicing it, due to it's weight and the arthritis in my hands. I did buy the 107 because of the smaller size. I'm going to add it to my goldfish tank's filtration. Thanks for the review.
Nice video John showing the 407 features. The Fluval 407 filter would be nice to win for my 75 gallon aquarium, my biggest tank set-up project that is 1.5 yrs in the making. The severums cichlids are outgrowing the 29 gal fast and am a strong believer that a canister is a good filter for messy cichlids. Cory of Aquarium Coop would probably say he is "not entirely convinced" but oh well, that filter will be my Ferrari lol.
Great video John, I was going to buy one of these filters but because I'm planning on upgrading my tank I went with the fx6. Glad I saw this video it gives me more knowledge about this filter.
Thanks for the great video, helped me decide! One small point - when installing the O ring it's recommended to use a silicone lubricant to keep it in shape for longer.
Ever time I watch you guys , I learn something ...Love the little mascott running around

The gasket is separate because it's oiled; it's contained in its own bag. If they left it installed, it would dry up. Great video - bought one based on this.
I finally faced my fear of canister filters and bought a 407 for my 75 gallon. Things are looking pretty good so far and it's super quiet!!👍🏽
You do know you need 1 kilo of media to every 100L of water to see the best results for the beneficial bacteria to see a full Cycle. Not telling you how to su k eggs or anything. Hope this helps the rest of you to.
Ashley New agree. Specially after watching a lot of info from pondguru
I have a fluval 405 for my 75 gal and works amazing.
@@spaceair1 they are one of the loudest things I've heard in my life when air runs through them but their completely silent when running normally.
I got an fx6 on my 120 and added a 307 with the new uv clarifier. Works great and I can’t hear neither of them running
Man im just getting back ino the hobby after about 10 years without a tank. Man the technology and simplicity of most things had come a long way this looks so much better of a system then my old clunky wet dry setup

Thanks for sharing, i want a Fluval, see you on Thursday. One Luv!
I have a 406 on my goldfish tank, it's awesome and I enjoy the ability to adjust the flow rate and direction.
I’m really curious about the 407: I like the way all trays come out at once.
i know it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Gunner Jeremiah i use Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
I have one of these on my 50 and love it. I am ready to upgrade the rest. Super easy & efficient canister filter.
I have a Western Painted turtle with a hang-on-back filter on his tank, I'd love to win a canister filter for him 😩
U can get one for less 50 bucks
oh my yes yes yes please count me in!!! 55 gal low to ground needs filter so i can get it up and running! yes please show clean up of the filters when you do them.
coolest i just bought a fluval 407 :D "D anyone else had just bought a new filter?
Yup but mine is Eheim 😜
@@VJ_Nic eheim is good as well, thats my previous ext filter lasted for about 7 years
Fluval is great! Thanks for all you have helped me with on my new hobby... 55gal cichlid 30gal community, 10gal frog n 20gal quarantine.... i have a new 55 gal. In saving up for a new canister
i hope to win the fluval so i can set up a tank for my brother in a wheelchair
Perhaps the rubber O-ring is shipped in the envelope so that the silicone lubricant won't dry out while it's being shipped/waiting to be sold.
I have the Fluval FX4... I love how easy it is to do water changes using the FX4. The Fluval 407 look like another exceptional product.. I totally agree Fluval is an awesome product....

I had 6 fluval canister filters, older style, in my tanks and loved them. Ty for the review.

I do like how there is filter pads before going through the tower. Makes cleaning a lot easier!
You've helped me out a lot in the past with your videos . Thank you for your hard work
By far the best setup/ review video on these canisters. Thank you for the great content!

I just bought a 150 gallon tank yesterday and started researching canister filters, and this morning I got the notification about this video. Very ironic but this filter seems to be really nice!
Love your videos, I just bought the Fluval 307 and I’ll be installing it in my 30 gallon fresh water acrylic tank.
I've got 2 fluval 406's and a 106. Excellent filters!! Can't wait to get the 407's! Thanks for the review!! Love your kitty cats!
Nice demonstration John. Love both the simplicity and flexibility of this canister.
I have the Fluval 407 on my 36 bowfront tank! Its great. Thanks for all your videos!

I just setup my first canister. So far so good. I think I’m hooked.
Love the black intake tube! My 406 has a white intake that "sticks out like a sore thumb" against my black painted background!
I love y'alls videos and it has helped me with my 75gallon tank!
I love the ease of use that you get with canister filters.
Looks like great filters! Good luck everyone!!!
Awesome filter I would have to retire my Aquatop! Think you and Lisa are awesome!
Great video! I been w/this channel through up n down! I'm so glad to you guys are back! 👍😄
I love how informative your videos are!!
John I love this presentation of the new Fluval filter. I have also watch your other Fluval videos. Thank you very much for all of your great content. Thank you, Domingo
I love the 406 on my 65 Mbuna tank, very effective and does filter for 60 days before needing cleaning.
Put hoses in tank at one end and out put at the other. This works best. I am using the 207 on my twenty nine gallon planted tank. I will also be using peat to lower the ph and make the water soft on my next water change. this is a great benefit for tetras and plants as well as other species.
Great video that simplifies the install or the maintenance.
Awesome video!!! Learning a lot from all the video you post!!!
I just got a 307 and yea your right its so easy and best filter i had
I'm excited to see your fish room finished! I have enjoyed seeing you guys come back on TH-cam.
I have been using the 307 for just about a month and my water is crystal clear and clean. This is my first Fluval.
So happy with my 307! Thanks for all the helpful information.
The Fluval seems like a very great Filter for a person doesn't like noisy things. Pretty cool filter I would love to try it out.
Growing up my dad always had fishes but it wasn't until a few weeks ago. I started my own "collection" Currently have a 10gallon with a Betta but I will go bigger.
Recently purchased a 35-40gal acrylic cylinder tank (if that makes any sense). Currently refurbishing in order to get rid of all of the scratches and making sure it's perfect.
You have great information on fish tank and fishes. I just got my fluval 207 for my new 36 bowfront Tank.
Awesome program John. Just subscribed and joined, not because of the contest, but because your material, your comments and helpful suggestions are super. Sending you Tons of Aloha from Hawaii !!!
I have been a subscriber for a couple weeks and got a 10 gallon tank after watching your videos. Thanks
I was going to ask about the noise volume from this filter but you said right at the end that it was "quiet as a mouse" so that's that answered!
Very informative and concise. Gonna put one on my acrylic 75 gal that I just ordered
Hi from France ! Thanks for the video. Great content ! Have a nice day and I hope I won't forget the future chat!
love your videos and the love and care you give for your fish. I learn a lot from your betta videos. your channel should do more saltwater fish.
Your videos get better every time! I hope you enjoy making them as much as we enjoy seeing them!!
I've been looking into getting a new canister filter. The maintenance looks fairly easy. This video helped, thanks.
Kitties! I have an FX-4 on my 120 gallon Oscar tank. I have problems servicing it, due to it's weight and the arthritis in my hands. I did buy the 107 because of the smaller size. I'm going to add it to my goldfish tank's filtration. Thanks for the review.
Nice video John showing the 407 features. The Fluval 407 filter would be nice to win for my 75 gallon aquarium, my biggest tank set-up project that is 1.5 yrs in the making.
