I replace sponges using Swiss Tropicals foams. I normally leave the blue coarse, replace the white with slightly finer foam, then use the bottom can for even finer layers and a phosphate pad. Then I put cheaper bio rings, then matrix, then biohome ultimate...essentially saving the highest quality biomedia for the last stage so any particulates that may find their way through are picked up by the cheaper/less effective biomedia. I do not use purigen or carbon, no need for me to date. If the water changes and parameters are on point you should not need those...although if you tend to over feed or supplement food, some of those can cloud water.

This was an AMAZING video for super beginners! I am not a super beginner, as I've been surrounded by aquariums my whole life, but I just bought my first canister filter (Fluval 307) and I was little lost on how to arrange the media. I'm not lost anymore, and you were so engaging that I watched the entire video rather than skipping around to find what I needed. You provided so much useful information and those pro tips were helpful for both beginners and those who have been doing this for a while. Very clear, very organized, and right to the point with valuable information. Thank you!

Great video!!!! Thank you!! One thing I’ve learned with chemical filtration: I don’t use charcoal/activated carbon in heavily planted tanks. The reason is algae. Activated carbon absorbs everything including essential nutrients, but leaves enough for algae to grow. So for heavily planted tanks, I would only use carbon temporarily to remove medicines etc… Long term use will deplete nutrients for plants, but will create a haven for algae. Of course, not to worry in tanks with no plants. Thanks again for this really comprehensive video. You do a great job!!

Bruh. Just want to say thank you for all of your videos and information! Before I watched your videos I struggled to really understand how water/filtering works in aquariums. I struggled with keeping water clear, it would always get green, the glass would always get hella algae on it, my decorations would slowly get black over time, fish dying, it was frustrating. After watching your stuff, I have a fluval 407 in a 55 gallon setup exactly the way your videos show. I now have crystal clear water, my decorations still look new, and no fish have died in 9 months since I watched your stuff and got educated. My fish all look happy and are FLOURISHING and now I thoroughly enjoy this hobby now that I'm not struggling. I threw my uv filter away which I used to depend on for clear water. I don't need that sh*t now that I'm doing stuff right. All this to say THANKS DUDE!

Just wanted to say this was extremely helpful and you did a great job. I am not exactly a Canister Filter novice but I'm certainly not an expert. I have a pair of Marineland Magniflow 360s and one has basically failed - started leaking about a year after getting it, replaced the gasket and o-rings (at $15 bucks a pop plus $10 minimum shipping...) - and a year later it started again. Tried resetting and repacking it, no good. Tried replacing the gasket and o-rings again, leaking worse. Tried everything, nope. (the other one has been golden.) - Just got a Fluval 407 Performance and I was a little lost - it's much different, the entire system is different, setup and parts and just everything. This was very helpful, thank you very much!

Because if this video I learned my polishing pads should go on the lower tray with the sponges. Which means I put my carbon and ammonia remover on my top tray. I hope to replace the the carbon and ammonia remover with zero carb. What is your opinion on zero carb? 2. I keep my canister in a tray Incase of leaks. Recently it has been filling the try very slowly. Is there an easy way to spot a leak? Thanks for this video!!

Hey, you are great at making these videos and being informative. Keep it up! One suggestion or pro tip for you though... skip the fluval ceramic discs and replace with all matrix. Your theory is good that the airation is good for growing the bac. However, inside the canister it is vacuum sealed and full of water so there is no air movement. Matrix has vastly superior s.a. so I think you would benefit from the added bac.
@KaveManAquatics

Grant Wolter thanks for those words, really appreciate it and the tips. I agree Matrix is much better but I like to just mix it up, maybe it’s a mental thing lol. Also agreed there is no air in the canister, but the water itself is oxygenated, so the course ceramic rings work well for aerobic bacteria. Love the feedback though...keep it coming! 👍

I've had 207 for over 2 years and what I don't like about fluvals is that you waste so much space (~50%) for mechanical filtration. Leaving little space for biological filtration, whereas in other filters mechanical fits in ~25% of the volume. They are good quality filters but they are less adaptable compared to others.

Hello kev. I have been watching your channel for a hot minute and thank you so much for the amazing content. You help make the hobby more enjoyable. My question is where to put polyfil in 07 series canister filter? I have seen 2 different videos of yours that suggest it in opposite parts of the filter. I currently have it in the top basket. Is this correct?

Great video man. I’m gonna add the seachem matrix 👍🐠. Been starting at the unopened box of the 407 for two weeks now with excitement and approach avoidance lol

Hi Kevin I know this is a long video but can you show the intake on the 407 and how you feel about the ball in there that tends to get clogged up

I just started my first aquarium (75 Gallon). I am ready for my first water change/filter cleaning. My question is can I add bio media and more ceramic rings to my existing ceramic rings? I don't want to mess up the bio media, but I would like to set up my Fluval 407 like this. Any advice on how to use my current setup but make it like this one? I used everything that Fluval 407 came with.

Hello sir ! I have this unit. I am thinking about another one. I have a turtle,he is in a 75 gallon tank. I use ammonia/carbon. I never use polyfill. I will try it. Thanks a lot! If I don't get another 407 I will get fx4.

Love your videos man! So helpful. Quick question. Do you only use one bag of Purigen or do you put one bag in each side of the tray? Thanks Kev!

On this tank I only use 1 bag. It's good for up to 100 gallons. Glad you're enjoying the channel! 😊

Nice Video Buuuuuut, Although Fluval is an excellent product, out of the box it leaves a lot to be desired and almost a bit of a joke. Here’s why... 1. The Bio media it comes with is nowhere near sufficient to house the Beneficial Bacteria needed to Maintain a 50 to 60 gallon tank. 2. The recommended order of media makes zero sense. I agree that knowing the flow of water into the Fluval is vital but here’s where the problem starts. The long egg crate type filters are designed to house beneficial bacteria however in the Fluval it is the first thing introduced to the dirty tank water...what I do is use 4 medium sponges (just buy 2 more) next I don’t use the egg crate foam in bottom canister, instead I Fill it with bulk filter floss. this will trap any junk that may have passed the initial filters but also help polish the water. In the second canister is where I place the white filter pads and then the black egg crate foam. Why? the white filter pad is the final part the the mechanical filtration and the black egg crate foam is where the biological begins (super clean water at this point) the 3rd and 4rth canister is where I fill to the gills with lava rock, bio cylinders or what ever bio media you’d like to use. This in my opinion is the correct filtration path for this unit.

Everything you just said is 100% accurate and makes total sense! Hopefully fluval picks up on these things and implements some upgrades to their next release. Thanks for the very insightful comment, hopefully it helps some viewers! 👍

Ruben, sorry but i disagree. Every sponge, course through to fine will act as surface area for bacteria. You decide that the black sponge provided in the bottom tray is a better platform for your preference of a bio breeding ground, i agree fluval say that is its primary function but a sponge, is a sponge, is a sponge. You squeeze it out with as much vigour as the rest of the sponges to clean it, but handle the hard bio media like a baby, swish with water nice n gentle. I see it as just another bit of mechanical filtration. Then have floss as the final crap catcher before anything i truly see as bio media and finally chemical media. Truth is, we all have our thoughts and we are blessed with the tray options to knock ourselves out with what and how WE want to do it.

Great channel. Question for ya.....I have the fluval 406 filter (predecessor to the 407) and want to give it a refresh in parts since I'm moving it to a different tank. Do you know if the 407 rim connectors will work for the older 406? I can't find the a replacement rim connectors specifically for the 406. If you have any input I'd love to hear. Thanks!!
