Fluval 207 External Filter

Product Information

Note: Don’t get me wrong – ANY canister filter is designed to operate quietly and they do, compared to other types of filters. It’s just that the Eheim is the quietest among the quiet ones. With the Fluval 407 and some decent filter media, you can keep whatever you want in your 40-gallon tank. Don’t use the fine water-polishing pad that comes with the EHEIM filter. It will surely make your water crystal clear in less than a day, but you’d have to clean it 2 times a week and, trust me, that’s a LOT of work. I don’t have 90-gallon, or 100-gallon tanks at the moment, but, as I mentioned earlier, I run an FX6 on my predatory 125-gallon one in combination with another filter.

Author’s note: The chart says “total”. This is because a single canister filter will not be able to match the requirements for larger tanks like the 150-gallon one (568 liters) for example. For these tanks, you’ll need more than one filter but that’s to be expected with such sizes… The usual 40-gallon aquarium setups are heavily planted and house plenty of community freshwater fish. Pump output GPH” – The pump GPH just tells you the flow rate without any pressure being applied. Every inch the pump needs to pump water through applies pressure to the motor and reduces its flow rate.When I first researched canister filters and what they do I noticed that most manufacturers made their own estimations of the tank capacity their products could support. On top of that, some brands provided pump output GPH and flow rate GPH. These are three distinct figures, so let me explain each according to my understanding: The SunSun HW-304B / Polar Aurora 525 is listed as a canister filter capable of 525 GPH. However, it is not clear if that’s the pump output or the water circulation potential of the whole filter. There are a couple of different types of aquarium filters. They differ in the way they’re implementing the filtering technology. Here’s a list:

If there is an obstruction, remove it and try again. Finally, if none of these solutions work, you may need to replace the impeller. Fluval 07 Vs Oase Biomaster If it’s that rare case where you just want a lightly-to-not planted 90-gallon aquarium with hundreds of small community fish in it, then, surely, a single Cascade 1500 will do the job. It’s a popular canister filter that provides a strong flow rate of 350 GPH. Looking for an affordable, reliable canister filter for your 29 gallon tank? The Fluval 307 may be a good option for you! This filter is designed for aquariums up to 40 gallons, so it will provide plenty of filtration for your smaller tank. The pros of a canister filter for such a small fish tank are that it will provide awesome filtration while being visually hidden and especially quiet. Many aquarists are not as diligent though. One needs to top off the water every 3 to 4 days, to avoid the splashing sound effect.

Fluval 207 External Canister Filter

In my experience, to keep such a large fish tank realistically clean you’d need 2 separate canister filters: Anyhow, both the Fluval 107 and the Eheim 2215 can maintain a similar flow rate of about 95 GPH. The guys from Fluval are rather transparent about the data, but Eheim doesn’t really disclose the number. One interesting thing is, The Polar Aurora / SunSun canister filters come with a built-in UV sterilizer.
