  • Fluval 07 Filter Cleaning & Maintenance How To | 107 207 307 407
    In this video I show how to completely clean and maintain the Fluval 07 range of external canister filter. I clean the media inside, the canister itself, the impeller and pipework. Fluval 07 range are incredibly easy to clean.

      Actually if you smash that bio ring open legit there are no holes. They are only on bubble holes. They are really not the best. A nice cheap long lasting replacement is lava rock. Got a 6lb bag at my local hardware store for 7 bucks, 5 years ago. It's is one of the best medias you can use I think.

  • @Hikarixhikarixhikari
    @Hikarixhikarixhikari Год назад

    I know this is a few years old but this is so helpful. I kept tryna clean it as usual and for some darn reason when I put it back together it would just spit a bunch of junk back into the aquarium. Turns out a part of it was clogged and I wasn't accessing it properly. Very frustrating process, just did a 50% water change for the discus and now I have to do another 50% water change bc the filter (after I had already taken it apart and rinsed it out) decided it need to spew out a bunch of clogged crap into the aquarium. Putrid, but this video makes me feel better bc I clearly didn't know what the hell I was doing 🤣😆

  • @evanbarnett8846
    @evanbarnett8846 3 года назад +10

    Excellent explanation but the first step in shutting off the water and disconnecting the tubes from the canister is paramount. All the other videos skipped this part causing many people to incorrectly disconnect the tubes causing a watery mess on the floor.
    My only constructive criticism is to use standing fresh treated water instead of the dirty debris filled water in your bucket. Thanks again for a well explained video and I am happy to subscribe.

    • @cparch1758

      Using old water minimizes the chance of killing beneficial bacteria... he even says it in the video

    • @tukpoon4354
      @tukpoon4354 2 года назад

      I tend to use the tank water as tap water stand or not, it has chemical which the fish do not like. Also we not meant to clean the water too much hence we only suck up 40%.

    • @Rick-xy4bt
      @Rick-xy4bt Год назад

      ​@chris patton I am late to this conversation but he specified using fresh treated water, which would be dechlorinated if it's treated, hence removing the change that it would kill beneficial bacteria

  • @amber-5312

  • @okesmokey21
    @okesmokey21 2 года назад

    Good video! Instead of where you put the filter floss, I put Seachem Purigen.

  • @seventythreedavid
    @seventythreedavid 2 года назад +4

    One thing worth mentioning is that if your water level is not right for the tank, the filter will not run correctly. I had an inch to low on the water and the filter wouldn't prime properly. This is good to know for cleaning and resetting the filter too. If you siphon too much water and don't replace enough you'll run into that issue. Great video!

  • @shauns3685
    @shauns3685 3 года назад +4

    few comments dude, empty filter water down sink, then use clean water from tank to clean sponges all your doing is adding more poop to your sponges other wise, flow bottom up so replace fine white sponge after black sponge in bottom or use fine filter floss, then put more fine floss in 2nd at the bottom then fill with your bio media all the way to the top that leaves your 3rd tray for more extra bio like siporax [great stuff] then also for any chemo that you may need, you'll have a more efficient filter, personallly i have eheim'''s lol great vid otherwise thumbs up.

    • @2869may
      @2869may 2 года назад

      I did not understand why he didn't clean and replace the fine white filter pad, it's better than that floss... (just needed cleaned)
      I was also thinking how much room there was for more media.
      But I think I'll go back to the classic Eheim myself, Simple and efficient.

    quick question as I am doing this on my filter this weekend. What did you do with the dirty water you placed in the bucket the water you used to clean the various elements with. My assumption is this was DUMPED away and you did the pump priming to load the cannister with water from the aquarium tank. Is that correct?
