## Description

From the manufacturer New E-tec technology. Engine Redesign Redesigned motor and rubber feet reduce noise by up to 25% compared to the previous version Maximum filter capacity Vertical Pre-Filtered The 07 Series uses every cubic inch of available volume, and features the appropriate filter materials to maximize efficiency in little space. Power, Efficiency and Durability Reinforced Aquastop Valve - New ergonomic design and raised edge for more comfortable use - Extensive design of plastic reinforcements - 2 times stronger than previous generation Powerful Depending on the selected model, the 07 Series generates between 550 and 1450 l/h of constant pumping power and pressure that lasts over time. Efficient 07 filters are very powerful but their energy consumption is minimal. The 107 and 207 models, for example, consume as little as 10 W of electrical power, which equals a single LED bulb! Fast priming - Redesigned requires less pumping for start-up - New fibre reinforced priming handle is 7 times stronger than the previous version - Wider grip for quick, effortless start-up - Better performance, less effort (can be used with 2 fingers) EZ-LIFT Easy Pull Out Filter Media Baskets The new central grip allows the main basket stack to be removed with 1 finger for quick access to filter materials - No draining water filter to get out baskets - less mess - Filter material baskets are subdivided for more customizable filtration options

Review: Good buy, however - Pros - Easy set up - Fits plenty of media - Stable - Good all round filter Cons - In my opinion it is slightly too loud for bedroom use, you will hear a quiet loud humming noise (my hearing is good so take my word). However I have tried my best to fill up my cabinet under the tank to try muffle the sound as much as possible but it’s still somewhat loud. - Inlet and Outlet tubes are too thick for a Fluval Roma meaning you will have to either cut into your Lids or the plastic frame on the tank... - Both tubes can tap on glass or wall through the vibration of the canister so a few extra suctions cups thrown in would be handy. - Should include a Fluval Spray Bar Side note: If you have anything under a 200L tank do not buy the 407 because even at the lowest outflow setting it will be too powerful for fish that prefer slow moving water like Betta’s. I have just about got the right flow for my 200L by including a spray bar and having the outflow at the lowest setting.
Review: Super filter - Got this as an upgrade on the stock filter supplied with our 240L tank and can only say the improvement is amazing. Very quiet, able to have more filter media in and can adjust the flow. Urmston aquatics are a great LFS and if you live close they are great for buying fish from but bought the filter off them through desertcart as this was cheaper than in the shop!!! Definitely recommend the filter and the seller!!!

## 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
