Fluval 407 Performance Canister Filter 120Vac, 60Hz
Description
With nearly four decades of experience under their belt, Fluval has done it again with their latest incarnation of the all-new 07 series canister filter. Not only does this bad boy pump out the power and reliability you've come to expect from the leader in aquatic filtration, but it's also jam-packed with several new performance upgrades that make it up to 25% quieter and more flexible than ever before.
- - Thanks to some fancy engineering solutions, the 07 series runs like a dream and is up to 25% quieter than before. You won't even know it's there!
- - Depending on which model you select, the 07 series generates between a whopping 145 - 383 US Gal/h (550-1, 450 L/h) of constant pumping power and pressure that just won't quit
- - These filters might be big on power, but they're small on energy consumption. The 107 and 207 models, for instance, draw as little as 10 watts of electrical energy - which is equivalent to a single household LED lightbulb! Talk about efficient
- - The 07 series boasts several new design refinements that make maintenance a breeze. Spend more time enjoying your aquarium and less time fussing over it - we've got you covered!
- - We don't mess around when it comes to maximizing media space. The 07 series utilizes every square inch of available canister volume and positions media resourcefully to keep your aquatic buddies healthy and happy
- - Last but not least, check out our complete range of authentic media solutions that offer higher quality, consistency, and effectiveness to help support the overall health of your filter and fish. Because when it comes to aquatic life, we don't mess around

Rating Snapshot
Review this Product
Customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this canister filter for exceptional quiet operation and crystal-clear water maintenance across various tank sizes. Reviewers consistently describe whisper-quiet performance paired with powerful, efficient filtration that delivers strong flow without noise. Most highlight dramatic water clarity improvements within days of installation, attributing this to high flow rate and effective media capacity. Many commend straightforward assembly, customizable four-tray media system, and mess-free maintenance via the AquaStop valve design. Customers express strong brand loyalty, with numerous repeat purchases and favorable comparisons to competing models. A few report rare defects or short hoses, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction.

Questions
I broke the handle that primes the cannister. Can i purchase this separately?
- Yes, the primer handle for the Fluval 407 canister filter is sold separately as a replacement part. It is officially called the "Self Primer Assembly" and is compatible with the entire Fluval 07 series of filters (107, 207, 307, and 407). You can purchase the replacement primer assembly from: Official Fluval Website: For direct purchase from the manufacturer. Online retailers: Websites like Amazon, eBay, and specialized aquarium supply stores (e.g., AquaCave, MarineAndReef.com) carry this part. Pet supply stores: National chains like PetSmart may also carry it.

are the 407 and 207 hoses the same size ?
I have had a Fluval 407 running for several years, and now the two pieces of flexible synthetic tubing connecting the water suction piece to the siphon tubing and the outflow cannister nozzle are deteriorating. Can I buy replacement tubing pieces?
I would like to know all the media that is compatible with this filter and would like to know anything else that recommended its for my peninsula Cooter turtle she is about maybe 8 inches long & loves to swim, I have a 60 gallon tank
how do i prime 407 filter
- There is a little lever that is there for you to use it to pump the water. It’s very easy to use and does not require a lot of elbow grease to do so.
Helpful?
Is this package complete? Does it include return at the top of the aquarium, return and intake tubes, and hoses?
- Yes, it includes everything you need to have the filter up and running.

i have a 125g with platy will it work?
- Workd Great on a 100g, so I don't see why it shouldn't on a 125g. Very quiet and easy to maintain.
Helpful?
Would this filter be strong enough for a 75 gallon discus tank?
- I use it on a 90 gal saltwater. Im sure it would work. Just keep in mind that you would also probably need some type of aerator or bubbler..
Helpful?
I have a 40 gallon tank with one turtle, with this be sufficient to keep the water clean ?
- It will, though keep in mind you will need to clean it often. I would recommend spending a few more Andrew Jackson’s on the FX4
