- Finally got my hands on (in my opinion) the perfect canister filter for my 90P (48 gallons) rimless tank project, the Fluval 307. In fact, I got so excited I decided to do a set up video, and customizing the tubing (inlet/outlet) for the Fluvial 307.
Note, I got the wrong sized tubing (12/16mm) for this, but in the video I will show you how to make it work (correct tubing size is 16/22mm).

Thanks for the in depth tutorial on how to set up!!
This is just the video I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing it. Please! Keep up the good work.
Franco thank you dude! Oh one thing, if your hose is smaller, it actually constricts the flow. For me it’s fine, I didn’t need the full power of the 307.
Boiling water and dipping the tubing to make plastic tubing lose to stretch or make it like contact better with things works a lot better than the hair dryer
Bro thanks so much! This is exactly what i was planning on doing to my fluval. But i didnt know the sizes. Perfect video! Thanks a lot from chicago!
Glad this helped! 👍👍👍
Nice, video. Thinking about getting a 207 for my 20long, but was trying to figure out how to get rid of those ugly fluval hoses.
Did the priming plunger on the canister still work after you changed the hoses and intake/outflow?
commoncurt yea, just get the right hose size or the size I used in this video (the harder way of doing things lol). Plug that up and you are ready to go! My fluval with the set up in the video has been running for over a month now.
Did u rinse the media, baskets and canister? Did you lubricate the 0 ring?
Can you please post the link for the glass intake and outlet pipes? Great video. Thank you!
you got the like as soon as you dropped that first/last tray. i did the same exact thing.
Lamont Stevens amen to that! Thank you! 👍👍👍😂 oh and since this video, I maxed out the bio with Seachem Matrix. What’s your setup like?
Liked and subscribed! Exactly the video I was looking for 😁. Also, may I know which brand and size did you use for the inlet/outer/skimmer and lily pipe?
In this video I went with smaller hose. But I recco 16/22mm hose and pipes.
Hello, like to ask which one (107 or 207) will work best for a 2 feet tank (60cm x 30cm x 36cm)?
beautiful design
Can you remove the hose you put on by heating it?
Liked. Subbed. Starting a planted tank now. You answered all my questions AND saved my ass with that gasket on the lid. I would have been so fucked. Keep it up dude!
So the 16/22mm is a 5/8" hose? Can I use any PVC non-kink hose? Can't seem to find this on Amazon that says it is aquarium specific. I Imagine that a hose is a hose...right? Cheers!
Try this: Tasisher 16.4FT x OD 16mm PU Air... www.amazon.com/dp/B08JV28PKM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Or chihiros brand clear hose, a but pricier and it does kink sometimes
I’m having the same troubles finding a 16/22 hose
Respect the socks.
Love the whole set up and everything man!
Thank you very much for the video. I want to buy the filter, but I didn't know if you could put a silicone tube in it.
Yes you can, go for it!
Is it working properly still ? Have u changed orings or any part?
🐠Excellent video bro, keep up the good work!!
Appreciate the love! 🙏🙏🙏
I wish I saw this before I set up my Eheim filter! That warning about the O-Rings would have saved my carpet. Love it Swang(?)!
neverLamp yea Swang, lol thank you bro. I wish they just put it on there for you like how the classic ehei series comes.
What O ring?? I have mine set up now I'm new to this filter so I'm worried about a flood now...
The big black rubber ring that goes around the inside of the powerhead. It leaks without it.
Dope video bro! Subscribed
LGNY1 thank you so much! More content to come!
Any idea for 207 what is the pipe size
Rigatoni 😂 Thanks for the informative video!
You’re welcome!
Nice video bro, hey you know if the rubber hose connector from the fluval tubing will fit a 13mm Lily pipe or a 17mm Lily pipe?
Juan José Aguilar Thank you! I have not tried the Fluval hose to a 17mm lily pipe. But I know for a fact that the 12mm Lily pipe that I have is way too small for the Fluval hose. So it’s safe to assume that the 17mm should be a fit.
Juan José Aguilar also, I think I am going to get bigger hose and pipe set soon. The 12mm is smaller and I feel like it restricts the flow slightly. Going to need every bit of that when it gets packed in there.
Nice to know, I'm really thinking on buying the 107 to upgrade my hob filter in my 10g planted tank, but I want to replace the intake and outtake for Lily pipes and I had doubts about the tubing, but I think the 12mm lilypipe with the tubing you used in the video could work for me.
Juan José Aguilar it definitely will work, some elbow grease and you’re good to go. 👍👍👍
Juan Aguilar I bought 12/16 mm clear hose for my 207 but was not fit maybe I will Buy again the 16/22 mm clear hose 😥😥 I think u should buy the 16/22 mm clear hose and same size lily pipe
Where did you get the clear tubing, inlet, and outlet pipes? Did you have to adjust your tubing again to attach to the pipes?
Clear tubing from amazon, pipe set from ebay (cheaper). You can also find the tubing st your local hardware stores. No the pipe set was the same size as the tubing. Note, since I made this mistake, the flow is choked due to the smaller tubing.
Thanks! Really appreciate the help. I subscribed. Keep up the good work, I enjoy the way you produce your videos.
Thank you so much! Always trying to do better and learn along the way!
hi, could you help me? I'm in Brazil and I have difficulties in understanding your language. I have a 207 canister which hose should I buy 16 / 22mm or 12 / 16mm? if I buy the same hose you use 12 / 16mm I should buy the 16mm lily pipe?
Yes, 16:22 hose and lily pipe
Hey I was seeing if that same tubing would fit on the Fluval 207 as well?
Yea it can, but you have to jam it on. Smaller hose will also slow the flow.
eheim double taps can be used to downsize 12/16 to 9/12mm if you have a set of both sizes
Good to know
Very good!
Hi is the gray rubber part at the end of the ribbed hose removable
Yes it is
I have a fluval 207, would it still be 16/22 ? and what size lilly should i use ? Ps i'm new to the hobby
The 207 should be 16/22, same size for the Lily. 👍
What's the advantage of using the clear tube?
Great content
Djscarecrows 🙏🙏🙏 appreciate the love!
What size lily pipe? I screwed up buying a large on for my 24x12x12.. i need help😂
Lol, what size is the hosing for your filter. Just buy that size.
Did you have any issues with the smaller hose size over time ?
Nope, but it did slow the flow a little. But I actually preferred the slightly slower flow. Lol
hello I want to do the same with my fluval 107 because I want to put pipes VIV mini spin pipe 12/16 my aquarium is 40x30 27 liters at the moment I have a little strong flow even at 50% flow?
Sorry what is the question? Are you saying the flow is still too strong even after you reduced it by 50%?
@@TankTastic yes it looks so to me until the bending outcome is very ugly for my skype and i want to put glass tubes at 12/16mm and i have to replace the hose with 12/16 so won't the jet increase?
Spin pipe flow is still strong? Have you tried a poppy glass pipe? Or cuz the filter flow using that grey level thats on top of the filter?
@@TankTastic I ordered VIV spin pipes not yet delivered to me and I have not tried them I just want to know if with a smaller size hose the jet is amplified?
Can you link the glass water intake and out?
Nice one. 😉👍
Martin Borghoff thank you bro!
@@TankTastic i'm thinking of pimping my 407 and the fx6. BTW you might wanne check poundguru channel that guy pimped the biomedia part of the filter. Could not found in the video or description which lily pipes you're using.
Hi. How do you prime the filter without that priming ball that's in the strainer?
There is a lever on the filter
@@TankTastic The lever? Is that the ring? That's the conventual way of priming and you don't need that white ball that's in the strainer?
The grey thing that you pull on is how you prime it
What kind of tubing did you use and where did you purchase it from?
Chihiros clear tubing, I got it on Amazon.
Mind to share what size of tube should we get for the fluval 207?
I believe it is 16/22 for the 207
@@TankTastic hi, sorry, i gt the 16/22, i can put it in aquastop valve, but the lock nut unable to lock it up, it is loose.
Hmmm you stuck the tube all the way down and turned the rotating lock all the way and it is loose? Or you mean the 16/22mm tubing is too loose when fitted on?
@@TankTastic i believe i got it smaller OD size. it could be 16/20. Rather than the 16/22. Is it ok to proceed with 16/20?
As long as it fits tightly. I got a even smaller one by mistake lol i just jammed it on.
What size tubing do you need
16/22mm
What is the brand of lilypipe u used in ur tank??
Edward Wijaya I use the Fzone glass lily pipes. TBH, Fzone literally slaps a sticker on some generic glass set. Each time I order from them, it’s slightly different. I guess what I’m trying to say is, just get the cheapest you can find on Ebay or Amazon.
Thx u very much 4 the response
Any time!
Keep it up ! :)
Thank you!
Mate, you can put so much more biological filter media in there. I would get some good filter media like Biohome and fill those trays to the brim. Great looking tank by the way!
Snake Charmer Totally agree, it def was looking empty before. Recently I stuffed some Seachem bios in there and now it’s a full house! I come from a long line of Eheims and this is my new favorite canister.
Obrigados
😁😁😁
What is the size of your tank bro
Lester Plata the rimless runs ank, 35.4" L × 17.7" W × 17.7" H and it is 48 gallons. Hope that helps!
Lester Plata oh you def good with the 307. I even choked the pipes as you can see in the video and water gets all the way around the tank. But once the rotalas get tall in the back, I will see how that goes. Fingers crossed. But on paper the 307 is more than enough.
Lester Plata oh and also note the placement of my pipes, that def helps along with the skimmers/intake combo glassware.
fucking beautiful bro
