Actually if you smash that bio ring open legit there are no holes. They are only on bubble holes. They are really not the best. A nice cheap long lasting replacement is lava rock. Got a 6lb bag at my local hardware store for 7 bucks, 5 years ago. It's is one of the best medias you can use I think.
How often would you say you do this?
Will do and thank you again!
I never comment on videos. But you need to know you singlehandedly helped me set up my aquarium canister. I was worried because I never had one before but you made it quick and painless. Keep up the amazing videos👍🏼
You're welcome
SAME!!! He has helped me set mine up, and now, clean it!!! Super helpful
Me tooo
Me too!!!
Im not new to that, but he really earned that like and sub. Very straightforward and to-the-point style of tutorials.
Very helpful. You are a great presenter. Very clear & straightforward. No long winded filler waffle.
As someone who's very new to fishkeeping, your videos have been a life saver!! Always have the videos I need!
THANK YOU! I don’t like reading instructions and this canister was a little intimidating. You made it super easy. Just changed it for the first time today and it was no biggie.
This is the best instructional video on UA-cam. Thank you for the information and great camera work.
No way I could've done this without this video. Thank you so much!!
Just did the whole thing, following your instructions. It was painless and quick. Thank you!! ❤️
The best and clearest explanation how to clean the Fluvel 07. Thank you!
Exactly the sort of video I needed, clear instructions and no shaky camera. Thanks man.
I am new to fishies and I was quite apprehensive in cleaning my 2 fluval 407 after setting them up 4 months back. I have to admit, after I watched your tutorial it was an absolute breeze, thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for your amazing videos
Awesome!!!!Tutorial.he made it look very easy.
You're the man! You've helped me with a number of your videos and this was exactly what I needed to know. You basically set it up and cleaned it for me! ;) Thank you!!!!
Loved my Eheim for years. Release for the top block with the lines failed, so I bought a Fluval. Very nice and intuitive breakdown just like the Eheim. So far my 407 is great.
Youngsters a God sent. I got the pump on your advice and it’s amazing. And this video is as amazing. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching
Thanks! Excellent resource!
You're welcome! Thank you 👍
One thing worth mentioning is that if your water level is not right for the tank, the filter will not run correctly. I had an inch to low on the water and the filter wouldn't prime properly. This is good to know for cleaning and resetting the filter too. If you siphon too much water and don't replace enough you'll run into that issue. Great video!
Very helpful thank you!
Thank you so much, you don’t know how much you helped my mom🙏🏾
Thank you and it is very clear to understand. Do you have a video how to fit it and run it back as it is not easy to start the water flowing. Hope to see your super tips.
A thousand thank you's Brother. So easy, NO MESS!!!!
Emptying the canister before taking off the head unit is a great tip to prevent spillage . Didn't know you could do that Many thanks!
Thank you so much this was totally helpful! Have a wonderful day!
Hello! Thank you! I am new to having fish and this video was very helpful. How often would you recommend cleaning the filter? What are the signs it needs to be cleaned?
I have a 55 gal tank, with 1 dinosaur bichir and 5 goldfish, if that helps :)
Thanks in advance :)
very well explained on this filter. i will soon be setting up an aquarium, going natural w/live plants etc. have had fluval filters in past. they are great. going w/this one for a 29 gallon long tank. wish me luck:)
Saved this and will use when I need to clean my aquarium in the months ahead!
Thanks! Instructions were great. I followed to a T and made the best banana bread pudding ever! Couldn't have turned out better.
How often do you clean the filter
Just purchased the 207 and watched your setup video for it aswell so much help very appreciated
Thanks for the like everyday aquarist good content just found your channel after purchasing the 207 filter definitely gonna watch your content
Thanks 👍
You seriously helped me so much. My filter was soooo clogged. It had started to become sludge. Thank you Soo much
Great presentation and guide. Thank you!
Clear instruction thank you.... Got myself a 307....
What an absolutely amazing and informative video, 10/10 easy to understand and easy to pay attention too
Thank you!!!! Much better than reading instruction manual
Excellent explanation but the first step in shutting off the water and disconnecting the tubes from the canister is paramount. All the other videos skipped this part causing many people to incorrectly disconnect the tubes causing a watery mess on the floor.
My only constructive criticism is to use standing fresh treated water instead of the dirty debris filled water in your bucket. Thanks again for a well explained video and I am happy to subscribe.
Using old water minimizes the chance of killing beneficial bacteria... he even says it in the video
I tend to use the tank water as tap water stand or not, it has chemical which the fish do not like. Also we not meant to clean the water too much hence we only suck up 40%.
@chris patton I am late to this conversation but he specified using fresh treated water, which would be dechlorinated if it's treated, hence removing the change that it would kill beneficial bacteria
Great breakdown and very informative that k you very much
WOULD RECOMMEND I USED THIS WITH MY FLUVAL 107 YESTERDAY TODAY THE TANK IS CRISTAL CLEAR!
Fantastic!!! Ty so much, for when the day comes, I'll know just what to do!!! 😊😊😊
Extremely helpful, thank you very much
Thank you! You've helped me set it up and now clean it!
Thanks! Just got it cleaned and it's pumping right along!
Just a quick question, when you put the cannister back together did you use all the same water in the bucket or did you use half that and half tap water...just not explained at all. Could someone clarify for me please as I looking at buying one of these cannisters
I liked the video but now my canister will not use electricity and not run what should i do
Thanks bro, for making the maintenance video.
Never cleaned one before but this video made it simple as possible really appreciate you❤
I've just installed mine yesterday after watching your videos which are brilliant! It's currently running along side my old filter.
Do you recommend to clean out like this once a month?
Really good video, thank you. I have lots of small flakes in my tank, looks like fish food flakes, but it isnt. like its snowing a bit, have you got any tips? Tank only been set up a month. fish feeding is once every other day
I know this is an old video, but what do you do with the carbon bag if you do want to use it again? Just rinse it like everything else or does it need to be replaced?
Is there a video on how to reconnect and prime it? Mine is making a lot of.aoind as of air is trapped in it
Yes there is in my channel
Is there a reason you don't have support pieces in that DIY tank stand? You got the pieces that set the height, the only thing holding it up is the screws. Great video by the way! Debating on which canister for a 60Breeder, thinking about a 407
Brilliant video! Really helped me thank you!! 👍🏻
Only UA-camr who pointed out the ball inside the tube fitting👍
Extremely helpful video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Just did our first ever clean
Thanks for this. It was much better than fluvals video...much appreciated.
What did you do with the water in the bucket do we just get rid of it
Awesome walkthrough thanks!
Great video have just set up the new Fluval 307 this will help me brilliantly to do its first clean ,when you connect it back together do you just press down the red locking lever then press down the grey fully to refill ,how often would you recommend cleaning the filter and does this reduce the amount of water changes you gave to do thanks if anyone can reply
I'm just setting my new 207 up n I need to know where the green filter part goes please? The phosphate filter...
How often should I be doing this?
Good video! Instead of where you put the filter floss, I put Seachem Purigen.
For once a video that straight to the point thank you
No problem
Fantastic video thanks 😊 👍 I am looking at getting the 207 for my 125ltr tank do you think its better than than 107 for a 125ltr tank?
You've helped me set up my canister filter and now clean it. You never touched on what happens when you plug it back in and lower the stop. Do you have to prime it again?
I have a video on that "priming and starting 07 filter"
Thank you !
You said that you weren’t changing the media order, but the tubes were in the middle to start with and ended up at the top. Does this matter?
I noticed your output is below the water level. I put mine above. Does it matter whether the goose neck output is above or below?
Really handy to see this. Thanks
red eared slider turtles any particular set up for them with a Fluval 307? Thanks
Hey I have a quick question I have the same filter and I found your video very helpful but what does the carbon do I'm so confused ? Sorry just stared getting in to the hobby and could use a lil help
Lots if space for more media my friend.)
Yeah there is. It's s running a small aquaponics media bed so doesn't really need to work very hard.
Do you fill pump with water?
How often do we need to clean the filters?
Thank you soo much for this. I’ve just done my first water change with this new filter. However, I think I’ve done something wrong somewhere because I don’t see any flow coming from the grey tube???
Thanks for the video man. Glad I didn’t have to read the manual haha
Thank you I am not a practical person but managed to set up my system FluvalSmart 307
How often do you clean the filter ?
Thanks for the help!
I know this is a few years old but this is so helpful. I kept tryna clean it as usual and for some darn reason when I put it back together it would just spit a bunch of junk back into the aquarium. Turns out a part of it was clogged and I wasn't accessing it properly. Very frustrating process, just did a 50% water change for the discus and now I have to do another 50% water change bc the filter (after I had already taken it apart and rinsed it out) decided it need to spew out a bunch of clogged crap into the aquarium. Putrid, but this video makes me feel better bc I clearly didn't know what the hell I was doing 🤣😆
White floss on top of black sponge in bottom tray and then top 2 trays fill to the top with media.
Very good explanation 😊
How long that I need to maintenance the filter
How often does this need to be done?
Every month or so
Where can I buy the stuff for the o rings ?
How often would you recommend doing this maintenance for the 307 series?
Tim Wilson if you still have the intructions booklet, on one of the first pages it says when you need to do what with the different components
Awesome video! Thank you! Lol you sound like a tarkov streamer named piranha!
with all those aquariums you should have a one of those cheap plastic sinks with a spray hose nearby you find in a mud room. I wash mine in the kitchen sink or bathtube and use the sprayer, no need for a bucket or towel.
This was SO helpful
I'm looking forward to buy one.
quick question as I am doing this on my filter this weekend. What did you do with the dirty water you placed in the bucket the water you used to clean the various elements with. My assumption is this was DUMPED away and you did the pump priming to load the cannister with water from the aquarium tank. Is that correct?
Dump the dirty water. The filter is primed empty
Great video and very helpful. Do I need to use the pump part when I plug it back in to get the water flowing again?
You probably will need to, it helps get the excess air out of the system
how often do u clean
Very clear video, thank you - helped a lot. The manual was too wordy.
You're welcome!
THIS HELP ME OUT TO UNDERSTAND A LOT THANKS
Wait what did you end up doing with all the water afterwards? Ahh that was the part I literally waited for it got skipped 😢
You just dump out the water! Since everything is "cleaned" off, you don't need the water anymore
Use this video every time I clean my filter because somehow I always forget step 1....unplugging the filter (water goes everywhere out of the tubs in case you were wondering)
Literally came to this video directly after spilling probably a gallon of water out of the tubes onto the wood floor 😭😭
few comments dude, empty filter water down sink, then use clean water from tank to clean sponges all your doing is adding more poop to your sponges other wise, flow bottom up so replace fine white sponge after black sponge in bottom or use fine filter floss, then put more fine floss in 2nd at the bottom then fill with your bio media all the way to the top that leaves your 3rd tray for more extra bio like siporax [great stuff] then also for any chemo that you may need, you'll have a more efficient filter, personallly i have eheim'''s lol great vid otherwise thumbs up.
I did not understand why he didn't clean and replace the fine white filter pad, it's better than that floss... (just needed cleaned)
I was also thinking how much room there was for more media.
But I think I'll go back to the classic Eheim myself, Simple and efficient.
How often would you recommend cleaning your filter? Once a month?
How often should the fine particle white sponge be changed out? As well as the blue and white and black sponges?
Do you just unplug it for water changes? Or should you empty it too so there is no dirty water being thrown back into the tank?
Up to you
Thank you for this!!!!❤
