## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this more poweful than the 406? My 406 is struggling with my 300l tank!**
A: I have a 350l tank and noticed my 406 was struggling, I was doing 10-15% water changes weekly and a full filter maintenance and 50-60% water changes every 6-8 weeks. I did a bit of online research and most utube and online advice believe that the actual fluval flow rate is tested media free and without any bio load. So actual capacity you should half what the manufacturer stated. On that basis I ordered a second filter ( I have a community tank big stock of fish) the water is much better with two filters.

**Q: What size are the brackets ?**
A: 1L baskets. Brackets are enough to install on anything.

**Q: Is this fine with small fish, fry and shrimp? Thank you**
A: The filter itself wouldn't effect them but if you didn't change the inlet cover for something with a finer grill or a large sponge you would risk them getting sucked into the pumps mechanism.

**Q: Hi, are there two hoses and what is the length?**
A: 8 ft once cut in half have plenty of hose for both

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent eco friendly filters.
*by J***M on 17 July 2025*

I have a 3x 207, 1x407 1x406 and fx6 across different tanks. The 207 is a great little eco work horse. Very efficient and cleaning. Relatively quiet. Good fit. I don't know why but eveytime I install I end up having an initial leak but after that touch wood they've been pretty solid. Maintenance is easy. Good value for money especially if you get it on sale. Much better than in tank filter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and keeps the water healthy and clean.
*by A***N on 14 March 2021*

Purchased to replace internal filter in a125L freshwater aquarium. I last had an external canister filter over 20 years ago, which was also a Fluval. I have to say there have been some big design updates. Installation beneath my tank in the cabinet was relatively easy. The only problem I had was that I fitted the gasket incorrectly which resulted in some water leaking onto the floor, however this was quickly remedied when I realised the mistake. The filter media included was ok. I replaced the ceramic bio rings with sintered glass ones for better biological load, but nothing else. I also used some of the media from the old filter to seed the new one.Cleaning is easy. Just disconnect the hose assembly, remove the canister and rinse everything in water that you've taken from the tank. It could not be simpler. There have been comments about the length of hose supplied. Personally I didn't have any problems. Water quality is excellent and the filter is doing a great job. I bought some silicone grease and use it to grease the gasket every 4 weeks and ensure a good seal.Fluval recommend you replace the bio rings every six months, I don't see the need for this myself. All in all, very happy with the filter in terms of quiet running and overall performance. One minor issue for me was the hose retaining clips were too bulky for my tank hood to close fully but got around this with judicious use of some cable ties. Recommend purchasing a spray bar for best surface agitation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Silent, free flowing easy clean pump.
*by S***N on 30 March 2025*

Amazing after 1 week check, could not believe how much cleanin time this model saves, with much less wrap on the foam. Fish seem happier that the filtration is better. Upgraded from the 306 3 layer to 307 that has two extra filtration layers, and a better pump motor. In the first week i used additional carbon bags that gave me a high kh. I've tested after 1 week and all seems good. I've removed the extra carbon, but the pump is silent, more robust features, fixtures have been made more durable and secure. The aqua filter is much easier to fit, slots in no trouble (the 306 I had to fight to fit on every water change). Three x the price, but worth it for the reduced hassle. Well done chaps, much appreciated design improvement.
