Fluval 407 External Filter

Reviews

Mr Jamie L Fellingham

The noise level is acceptable and it has good suction with adjustable flow. All that I'm waiting for now is for the snails to find their new feeding zone to clear it all up! The solution to this is that the hoses and fittings from the All Pond Solutions filter I mentioned earlier fits the 107 and 207 perfectly and are sold on their website. The box says up to 220 litres but those size tanks are sometimes 1.

The 207 is usually £101. After you've got it started a top tip is to tilt or rock it side to side gently and this will remove most of the trapped air bubbles quicker but it may still take a few hours or so for it all to leave the system and for it to reach the lowest noise level. Easy to maintain, I have a heavily planted tank so sometimes the head of the suction section gets blocked, but easy to slide off and clean under the tap without reducing output.

2m which this may be a little on the small side for though; it may struggle to push the water that far, so I'd recommend the Fluval 307 or even the 407 if you can afford it for 200 litres and larger. It is more powerful than I thought. Overall this is a great product for anyone wishing to purchase an external filter for their fish tank.

This is a great external filter for fishtanks. It keeps the water clean all the time.

Cleaning was a little easier as the design to extract the bio etc in one is a good idea. So far no complaints. East to clean and replace media. It has made my tank sparkly clean and my fish very happy.

This is the perfect sized filter for my 160 litre tank; I'd recommend it for tanks 1m wide. Was a little concered it may be too powerful for my 60ltr tank, but purchasing a spray bar helps spread the current.

My fishtank stands on a cabinet so the filter is hidden inside the cabinet. If you also run an air pump on your tank you will definitely not hear this filter over that.
