There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This generation is SUPER quiet. I keep it inside the pedestal base, which has a thin MDF door with gaps, so any significant sound will be heard, and although I could hear a soft noise from my old one, this one I cannot hear at all unless the room is totally silent and I specifically listen for it while also standing right next to the aquarium. Given how much water it's pushing, that is unbelievable. NOTE: Do not be disappointed when you first set it up if there is some noise. That is just air bubbles working their way through the system. It will happen on and off for couple hours after first turning it on.
I also love all the new filter media Fluval has put out. Lots of options to dial in your setup. Highly recommend this.
made a few modifications to the existing system by adding 10ft acrylic pipe & stainless lily pipes
Can't speak for longevity but the system is working flawlessly. Canister is clearing moving A LOT of water, very surprised by the compact size & ZERO noise
would highly recommend

First the good: this filter is a really nice upgrade from the 06 series. It’s stylish and the filter is VERY quiet compared to the 06. You won’t hear it at all in a cabinet. The edition of the red handle to lift the baskets is wonderful. The output is unmatched and I have tried Oase, Eheim etc. this blows them all away. The water will be CRYSTAL CLEAR as you will read from these other reviews esp with poly fill and one treatment of aqua clear from api to jump start the poly fill. I set mine up as follows: default foams, second basket polyfil, third and fourth basket with matrix. These filters utilize a lot of space for the prefilter and have the most surface area in foams compared to bottom top style like eheim. Therefore these are set and forget for ~ 3 months without gimmicks. Although if one desires they can clean the foams on the left more often as it’s quick and total cleanings can be put off further. Aesthetically they are designed in Italy and look it. Best looking filters out there.
Another thing is the splash when releasing the aquastop. Simply close the aquastop while pump is on and then unplug. Then release valve —> zero splash. To open top push down all the way on hinges and it will pop off no need for a screwdriver.
The bad: The main seal will compress over time if not changed once per year and the filter must be cleaned at ~3 month intervals if you want to avoid leaks. This is the reason why people are put off to this filter. There will be no problems as I have run these for over a decade if you follow this advice.
The second issue is the development of microbubbles. The aquastop valve o rings compress over time I guess with these 07’s. This never happened to my 306’s. This is easily the most frustrating and annoying flaw for an expensive filter. Esp. the 07 version. I had no issue with my son’s 207 yet. It sucks because bubbles make the tank look dirty. This too can be avoided easily. (Now that I figured it out lol). This was also much much harder to figure out. I almost gave up on this filter due to this issue with the design.
I tried 3 of these fluval 407’s to rule out the individual unit and all created them over time. Simply replace the aquastop valve they sell them here. There are o ring kits on here I saw later that might work. But they don’t sell the o rings separately I guess. If you still get microbubbles replace the main seal. If that doesn’t work then you have a defective unit.
Third: only mechanical restriction for flow reduction. I would have liked to see a digital or analogue dial voltage reducer to change flow like the new filters.
Fourth: better clamping mechanism. It barely holds the top down.
Conclusion: over all as good as it gets. A clear version with clear baskets would be AWESOME. special edition fluval? A voltage regulated flow would be perfect. Better lock fitting baskets would be ideal. But considering the surface area of sponges which is what makes the water so clear, the longevity between maintence and the flow with proper media the fish are never happier. It’s the best out there without the gimmicks. Thank you if you made it this far :).

Es muy silencioso por la potencia que tiene y aún más si lo tienes adentro un armario. No sé escucha nada.
Buen caño de salida de agua. En mi caso aflojé la potencia ya que los peces estaban todo el tiempo luchando por la corriente de agua jejeje
Decir que uviera estado bien que viniera algún tipo de boquilla salida diferentes.
Ya se irá viendo con el tiempo la durabilidad del filtro
