107 Perfomance Canister Filter for Aquariums up to 30 Gallons | Aquarium Canister Filter

The Fluval 107 Performance Canister Filter has been an outstanding upgrade for my aquarium setup. I use it on a tank under 30 gallons, and the difference in water clarity and overall tank health was noticeable almost immediately. Installation was straightforward thanks to the clear instructions and well-designed components. Once set up, the filter runs extremely quiet — I barely notice it’s on, which is perfect for a living room or bedroom aquarium. What really stands out is the strong yet gentle filtration. The multi-stage system keeps the water crystal clear while maintaining great circulation without stressing fish or plants. Maintenance is also much easier than I expected. The quick-disconnect valves and lift-lock clamps make cleaning simple and mess-free. Things I love most: ✔ Crystal clear water within days ✔ Very quiet operation ✔ Compact size with powerful performance ✔ Easy priming and startup ✔ Reliable flow rate and consistent filtration ✔ High-quality Fluval build durability My fish are more active, plants look healthier, and overall tank maintenance has become much easier. If you’re looking for a dependable canister filter for a small to medium aquarium, this one is absolutely worth it.

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

These 07 series filters are great and ive been keeping tanks since 1965!! So easy to service, just once every 6 weeks takes only 30 minutes total for complete clean and change. ZERO problems what so ever and they are SO Quite that dont even know they running! HIGHLY recomend!

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.

Fit and finish and parts are great inside. Instructions not too bad. In my opinion, i think the tubing is a little bit hard to wrangle but it gets the job done. I like the adustible flow lever and its really easy to prime and start the siphon. I did quite a bit of reading and youtube watching before I made this purchase. I also know this filter is not a magic bullet to solve all problems. Here's my filtration setup: 1 seachem tidal 55 stuffed with sponge.. why? additional flow, aireation, and purely mechanical filtration with some biological capability to break things down to nitrates, plus a good place to put filter floss of chemical media to absorb meds if needed. Also very quiet. 1 Fluval 207 canister filter with a focus on biological filtration and enphasis on keeping water as clear as possible before moving over the bio media. The key to any canister filter is smart utilization of space. I will be 100% honest and say the bio media that comes with it is way too smooth and probably will not do a good job having enough surface area for groth of a good bacteria colony. For what its worth, if you do not try and optimize the potential surface area of the filter you are basically wasting your money. The goal is to have as much water touch as much of the media as possible. It's up to you to decide what bio media is good. But something that fills each tray and is very porous would be a good idea 2nd thing to consider is how you intend to remove the fine particles from the water so your bio media does not get too gunked up. The prefilter on this thing is really nice but does take up a good chunk of space in the canister. That why I decided to use an extra HOB to take some of the burden off the canister and to maximize success. Plus in an emergency i could carry the tank for a few days with that HOB. Peronally I think the sponge in the first tray is too fine and that can affect flow and get clogged super easy. I decided to stuff with some more coarse sponge and leave just enough room for filter floss, though I might remove the floss alltogehter. The reason why I'm considering removing the floss is because I used an intake prefilter to help block some of those initial big particles even before they hit the quite generous prefilter area in the canister. I don't have a need to run any chemical filtration as of now unless i'm dosing meds or something else in the tank that will need to be removed later. So its good to save the bag of charcoal that came with the filter for later. To keep from making a mess when you release the red connector, just slightly lift SLOWLY and wait for the water to settle and you shouldn't have any spashing problems. Be mindful when you survice your filter, that grey lever for flow control is all that's keep your tank from dumping on the floor. But it is nice to have a permanent siphon if you need some tank water to clean your filter. :) In all fairness, this is a GREAT first time canister filter. just remember not to OVERSTOCK the tank or abuse the unit. Keep it clean on a regular basis. Check on your ammonia levels and keep up with your water changes. Also remember the advertized flow rate is without anything blocking the pump. Cut that value in half and then determine what capacity is right for you.

Very nice filter. I've had several Fluval canister filters. This new design is nice. VERY quiet. Be sure to read the installation instructions.

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.

Prouduct is as described. Cheaper brands are available however you don't want to take that chance. Product performs well and better that advertised. It's is very esthetically pleasing in my setup and is consealed very nicely. It cleaned out my tank in under 2 hrs this is for a 50 gal tank. Waterflow and pressure is perfect. Setup and installation is very straight forward and easy.

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.

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

Débutant dans l’aquascaping avec un aquarium de 230L, j’étais perdu entre tous les filtres proposés. En cherchant longtemps j’ai constaté que ce filtre était le meilleur en terme de rapport qualité/prix. Il est facile à mettre en marche avec une notice en français ou des vidéos en anglais sur YouTube et son efficace est parfaite. Ce commentaire est écrit après 1 an d’utilisation. J’ai changé 1 fois les filtres de base et la photo en commentaire par d’elle-même. Les poissons se portent très bien. Je recommande 👍

This is a nice pump. It is silent and super easy to prime. My problem is with the main gasket. It leaks if the pump is tilted on the side. I haven't had a major leak, but it leaks a little if I slightly tilt the pump.
