As a plus, you also receive 70 grams of carbon. This carbon helps remove any odors from the waste and debris built up within the sponges. The Fluval 07 series pump has been re-engineered to incorporate improved noise dampening materials, unobstructed frictionless impellor rotations resulting in a smooth-running reliable pump 25% quieter than the 06 series externals. The new substantially larger rubber stabilizing feet not only protect the bottom of the filter but offer greater vibration-dampening capability.

Fluval eTEC (Efficient Technology) construction employs cutting-edge design, materials and manufacturing methods to deliver powerful pump performance, reduced energy consumption and ultra-quiet operation Energy-efficient - some 07 series filters draw as little energy as a single household LED lightbulbBy using this formula, you can compare filters from different manufacturers on an equal basis. TANK SIZE (GALLONS) Mechanical filtration catches all of the debris in the water, if you’ve got loads of stuff floating around in the water, it’s time to rinse out those filter pads!

Energy-efficient – some 07 series filters draw as little energy as a single household LED lightbulb Cichlids– Convict cichlids (for example) are known to rip up plants and stir up the substrate which can create a lot of mess. This is great news for those just starting out in this hobby, or busy aquarists who don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to tank maintenance. Fluval knows how to make the life of an aquarist easy by manufacturing breezy appliances.Next, measure the tubing, cut it to the specifications you need, and push the tubing into the output connector at the top of the output nozzle. Place the nozzle in the tank. eTEC (Efficient Technology) is at the heart of the 07 series. It’s a synergistic process where forward-thinking design, cutting edge materials, and state of the art manufacturing processes come together to deliver powerful pump performance, reduced energy consumption and ultra-quiet operation. Biological filtration uses beneficial bacteria to consume highly toxic ammonia and nitrites, turning it into safer nitrate, which you then reduce with water changes and by having live plants. Activated carbon needs to be replaced on a regular basis as it will stop working, aim to replace it after one month. With most filters, you’re restricted to precise capacities or water types. With the Fluval filter, you’re allowed to switch it between multiple tanks or transition it to new environments as you please.

Disconnect the filter from the aquarium and unplug: Lift the grey lever on the Aquastop valve so it’s vertical, this puts it into the off position and stops the flow of water. Unplug from mains power. Lift the red lever to disconnect the Aquastop valve from the filter. The only thing missing from the Fluval filters is a handle like the Oase Biomaster filters have, a simple thing that makes life easier….but it’s not a deal breaker!

While we have very few bad things to say about this canister filter, there were some users who thought the materials used to construct this canister filter could be made of higher quality. So long as you have a tank that’s within the capacity requirements, you should have no issues with this filter whatsoever. Where to Buy the Fluval 107 Performance Canister Filter You may notice my tank size suitability figures differ slightly from what Fluval state, I’ve done a chart further down explaining how I work this out.
