Here from the U.S . Set it up from your video. The instructions were spot on . Thank you.

[@mellewedin8221]

This might be 2 years old but thank you. It is so far the best and easiest video to fallow. Thank you. I hope turtle and sunfish will enjoy the flow of this filter and I will be able to kill the air stone in the tank to help make a current for them

Did for me today! Didn’t want to read directions and followed this and it went quick and perfect. 🙌🏻

Thank you for posting this video. It made it so much easier to put by Fluval together.

Bought a 207 today and used your guide to set it up, didn't even read the manual. Thank you for putting these together, you helped me a lot! 👍

[@FishingwithDoug]

I've just ordered one & won't be reading the instructions now either haha Nice one

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

I would read everything in a manual before using it.. he doesn't cover some really critical things in regard to what to be careful with especially during maintenance. AFTER you read through the manual even if its just the warnings and maintenance, then watch these sort of videos. Just my opinion :)

[@thebigfellacole3757]

My mom had her tank running for about 6 months while the media and charcoal were both still in their plastic bags. The gravel, decorations, and filter sponges were the only thing keeping the tank going.

Was any fish dead?

They come with a notice to remove those bags..

Well, she had media back up!!! 😊 I'm supposed to be the one to do that 😅 hope her fish did well regardless ❤

I am so very proud of this moment for taking the time to listen to your instructions, they were very clear, you spoke clearly with good direction for setting up my Fluval 107. When you have to wing it, I go to youtube University.

[@d.od.3463]

Excellent instructional video. I've sat and watched countless so-called instructional videos and come away with the feeling of "What"? The instructor either goes too fast, drags on too slow, or starts to tell endless side stories. I didn't choose to listen to anyone's side stories and thank you, I didn't hear any! Your presentation was clear, precise, and concise! Thank you! I just subbed your channel in the event that I have to return to clear. up a point that I forgot.

[@robertfletcher3421]

I like these filters and it is making me think. Also congrats on putting the pipes in correctly. To put them at opposing ends causes dead spots that can lead to algae. George Farmer had covered this a number of times.

[@OKittenPlayz]

First time ever working with a canister filter, and I got a 107 model for my 20 gallon. I've been using 3 different filters for my tank to keep it crystal clear and it hasn't been working... So to help everything look neater and to stop having an in aquarium filter AND a large sponge filter, I'll be using this! And if I still need to, I'll also be using my Seachem HOB filter. Thank you so much for the tutorial on setting this up!! ❤️❤️❤️

Super helpful, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@resonantconsciousness9248]

Great vid! Personally I like to build my own filter/pump setups as the premium brand stuff is too expensive, sure my buildings are nowhere near as elegant but functionally wise far superior. For example my filter is 40litre chock-full of media, to the brim! Has a variable speed jeabo pump and proper pond tubing (the big stuff) all for about £120 for my 300ltr tank. The pump and media came from the ebay all the other bits from B&Q and Maidenhead aquatics. Far less elegant and less safe, so there's that.

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@Bev4Ever2]

Thank you so much!

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

To anyone who reads this, please make sure the gasket is in the correct spot! You saved me from a lot of flooding! I couldn't figured out why it was spraying water everywhere and kept checking the directions to no avail. Turns out the gasket was in the wrong spot because it fit so well where the little clip-looking things are. Turns out it fits in more than one spot and one of the spots will empty your tank onto your floor within minutes.

[@ariannasearway]

I unfortunately read this after I had the flooding. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I couldn’t understand why it was pouring water out of both sides of the filter…. It was the gasket put in the wrong spot, they really should be marked in red because it really looks like it belongs in the top of the lid. The flood is cleaned up and the filter is now running and doesn’t appear to be leaking. I will continue to check on it for the rest of the day because I’m very paranoid.

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

@@ariannasearway oh no!!! That really sucks. Hope it's all good now? And that it didn't get too out of control... It pumps a lot of water. Mine hasn't leaked since I put it together. Seems to hold up well

[@olgav4271]

Ugh, I’m glad I found this video and thread - couple of floods later, I realize the gasket was also in the wrong spot 🤦🏼‍♀️.

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

@@olgav4271 well, I'm happy to have helped, but I'm sorry that happened! I think they need to clarify the instructions to be more clear and effective... Seems like it has happened to many, so don't feel bad! All good now anyway :) Otherwise I haven't had any issues with the product, it has help up well with my community tank

This is a great video. Has anyone else suffered with the filter keep blowing out air after they turn it on. I don’t mean for just a few hours as the filter gets going. I set mine up Saturday morning (207) and until today it is regularly blowing out a lot of bubbles every 30 seconds or so... any help or ideas ladies and gents?

[@sharoncipolla9376]

Is the intake valve near an air stone or any other type of air coming into the take (I also run a sponge filter).-that will make bubbles as it pulls in the air bubbles

[@danniellegillon5867]

This video was absolutely amazing! I was terrified of the 07 series because it was a learning curve for me. I watched this and immediately went to grab one! I have the 407 and it is exactly the same, except there are 4 inner baskets. I never once picked up up instruction manual through the whole setup; I just followed along with the video. Thank you SO much for making this!!!

[@suewalters5298]

Hi, I love your tutorials, so clear and easy to follow. I have a question for you...I’ve just ordered a Fluval 307. In your setup clip you said that you don’t use the Carbon. Can you please explain why and what is better to use? Many thanks 😊

[@EverydayAquarist]

All carbon does is remove tannins, medication, discoloration, any smells or similar types of things from the water. It also needs replacing regularly like every month or so which is an added cost. Other than removing meds when needed carbon is only really used as a water clarifying chemical. I don't mind a bit of discolouration in my tanks and saving a bit of money.

[@suewalters5298]

Many thanks 😊 what would you recommend to put in the tray instead? also my filter has come with free phosphate removal pads. Which tray should I put them in?

[@17med72]

Hello, your review is very clear, but i do have one question. For the intake and outtake tubes, do we have to cut them?

[@17med72]

By that i mean does it come with one tube or two? Since your tanks is close to the filter I’m guessing you cut it cause its too long.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Cut

[@neutronshiva2498]

I cant clip the head on the bucket. There is a gap. No clue what is causing this :(

I have the 307 on my 90 litre tank (20gallons) it is highly stocked tho .don't use the 107 as that isn't enough filtration at all .if you choose the 207 make sure you invest in quality media .Biohome would be best ,this would offer a full cycle on a medium stocked 25 gallon tank (planted would help also) .
