In this video we take a look at how to start and prime the Fluval 07 range of external canister filter. This guide covers all of the range of Fluval canister filters from 107 - 407.
There are two main times the filter will need to be primed. the first being on a brand new filter and the second is when the filter has already been setup but removed for cleaning etc. I cover both of these examples and show you how to get your Fluval 07 filter going again

I’m very new to this hobby, your video is very helpful for me thank you so much.
Thanks for these videos! I refer to them every time I need to maintain my filter
You're welcome
Thanks for explaining in detail how to used this item I have a brand new one,sitting and waiting to be used for pleco tank
You have an absolutely beautiful tank room setup! ❤️
Needed to watch this! Very informative.
Cheers mate! I'm all set up now! 👍🏾 Nice one!
Thank you so much, you saved me a ton of time!
Super that's helpful for water changes.
Thank you very much bro. You saved me a lot of time.. thank you again❣❣❣🤗🤗
Never had an issue with these but some handy tips
Worked really well since we moved and I forgot how to restart it. Only annoyance with the video was half the screen was black but other than that, easy explanation. Thank you!
Thank you kindly.
It works, thanks!
Great help on this video 👍
Thank you !!!
Thanks
Handy that you can reduce the flow
Hello if you're having issues starting and priming your Fluval 07 filter here's a guide on how to do it!
Great
Thank you for doing this video! Very helpful! I have this filter but I’m new to it. I was wondering if once it’s running, if it’s ok for the output to be below water level, or if it should only be level or slightly above? I have a 29 gallon and also run an air stone for surface agitation to make sure there’s enough oxygen.
thanks for the video. what u say about the noice while running the filter ?
Thank ypu for sharing but I have the 06. Would it be any different because im trying to have my clean and now its not priming like before.
Great video, I've a 206 and never had a problem priming it. Maybe it's because I cover everything in silicone grease (Including the primer shaft and plunger). What I do have a problem with is the noise!
Mines really quiet
My 406's are quiet. The 405's are not much different. Air pumps now that's a different thing. With 7 tanks it's like living in a bee hive!
I have a 307 and you can barely hear it.
I think it depends on the location. Mine was (I've now changed to an internal filter) in my bedroom and sounded loud at night. I managed to reduce the noise by sitting it on a mouse pad and cut off bits of the pad to put anywhere the pipes touched the cabnet. It's a great filter but I would only recomand internal filters for a bedroom tank.
Thank you, I found the video :) save me sucking the tube to drag the fish water out
I have an old Fluval 304 that I want to test to find out if it works. Do these work the same way?
how do you put molly in to the salt water?
Can turn down pump pressure ,as sucking fish into vent ,lost 3
Does it matter if you leave the lever up or down?
I just bought another one because my old one was over heated, I set up everything but the new one is also over heated is there anything I’m doing wrong as to why it over heats and making noises ?
3 weeks and my flow is so much slower now. As if its warn out. No blockages etc
The video is watched before said to fill the filter with water should i pour out the water
We have a 407 not more than a year old on a turtle tank , problem with the primer seized , have spoken to the manufacturer who suggest a new primer kit , which we have but on removing the old primer a piece of what looks like a black rubber seal has come out and the new handle is sloppy in the insert , is this filter pump suitable for use with a turtle tank and how can I get the o ring or seal that must be broken .... has not gone well since we bought it
Mine has been purging now and again on new set up
Should the lil pump thing come out cuz mine comes out if i pull it to high and it doesnt fill? Plz someone lmk
Where did you get your section cups?
I tried make the same but my 207 still is very noisy I use it few hours? Maybe i got the broken one?
Hi I have a 307 model and after year old start licking from the right side of motor head I don't know what do do
I appreciate the directness and clarity in the directions.
Question-what is your opinion on the placement of 2 Fluval 407’s? 120 gallon, 4 feet x 2 feet. No live plants and larger fish except for cherry barbs. What is the way to get the best circulation? Thanks!
I just got a 207 and I’m having an issue of it running then it slows down and blows out micro bubbles like it’s purging. How do I fix this for a constant flow ?
Sorry can you help me my fluval pump Motor the plastic thing is broken can you send a link to one or can u tell me name of what it called thx
What’s the big black fish?
Informative video. The instructions said to fill the filter before starting, so I filled in AND THEN out the top on. Oops, emptied it and started over. I tried both methods you lay out and there is no bubbling. The filter does not fill one bit, either priming it or not, summering out outlet or not. I have the gray lever down. Everything looks good from your video or the instructions. But nothing🤫
Same! Did you ever get it to work?
05's pain in the whatsit. 06's no problems for me. I do it slightly different by just pulling up the plunger while it fills. Start pump and push down lever. Pushes out last bubble. My cannister is much lower though. OK filters but getting dated compared with newer designs
Will this be enough for 3feet?
Mwhat is wrong if I cant pull the grey lever even when I have the whole head remouved
Hi when i clean my tank and 307 filter there's a noise inside the filter and it leaks air must be trapped air ,how do I stop this please
Is that aquarium glued to the stand?
That’s amazing
Looks like it's sitting on bubble wrap
I have a 307 never had a problem with it
Hello I have a 307 and my clamps on the head motor feels like loose when I locked,is that normal ?do you have the same thing ?thanks
I'm getting alot of air bubbles and the off spitting sound any recommendations
Try carefully tilting the filter a bit to get some air trapped in it to come out or just leave it running it should clear up
Shoulda bought an extra hose I did,my filter could go in the other room and still have length
Compared to other brands at this size this is the worst I have had or used. Returning mine tomorrow
Could I top it off since the aquarium water went into the canister?
Yes
Its brand new and I waited around 10 minutes for it to siphon and it's not starting right away
Hey man do you know if the 107, and 207 use the same pump?
The head off the 107 and 207 can be switched but the 107 head has a lower flow and the 107 I think has a smaller impeller cover.
Does anyone have a 407? Mine is 3 years old but it’s now making a sound like it’s struggling to pass water the water intermittently ( like when you first connect it and it’s refilling noise)
Hi, had same problem, changed the ampeller and works fine
Hi Sir, I recently bought a 207 filter, the output flow is too low when compared to yours.. could you pls suggest ?
Clean it out , check impeller , don’t overpack with media or sponges
Please help! I cleaned my Fluval 207 for the first time, put it back on and it does nothing. It is plugged in, I can hear some noise, but it is not filtering. I am crying. 😢
U fortunately mine overflowed with water on the floor with the simple priming and then wouldn't work after plugging in and input and output flow correct. My 7nderstanding is top 9only goes on one day. Wasted my entire Saturday trying to get it to work but ended up mopping floor instead. Returned.
My 307 is always a bastard to restart after removal and refit
The gray lever, can it be slightly up to reduce the flow?
Yes, according to the fluval website they say you can move the Grey shut off lever about 45 degrees to reduce flow a max of 50%
Hi, I want to buy 1 of the 07 external filters however my fish tank is in my bedroom so I don't want to be listening to a humming noise, how loud are these filters? can you hear a noticeable humming?
A slight hum but I could sleep with it
@@EverydayAquarist Great, thanks for the reply
I did everything as said in video and it weren’t fine for 10 minutes and then stopped.. any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
I have multiple Fluval x07 filters. What I have found is that after the filter starts correctly, there could be air in the media that build up at the pump impeller. The flow will stop. Pumping the primer will get it going again. Also, tipping the canister front/back/side to side will allow any air remaining to vent. I always make sure there is no air left after startup or cleaning before calling the job done. Normally, I need to repeat the restart at least 3 times. I love the x07 canisters but, air lock of the pump can stop the flow. Also, some people put an air stone right near the intake. That's a bad idea. The air WILL get into the canister and it could stop the flow. Regards.......
after wash the filter. I have to pump the filter so hard for it to work again. am I doing something wrong？ I plug it before I pump it
Just washed mine not doing anything but making noise
Yeah put the gray lever down just had the same problem Lol
I desperately need help,I’ve cleaned everything , it’s been rattling & not priming,I feel no resistance when I plunge it, why?
Sounds like you might have your In and Out hoses mixed up. If you put the hose from the intake on the OUT nozzle on the can it will do that. Don't run it like that though it will burn out the impeller. It's and easy thing to mix up I did it w my first can.
Is the flu all 207 good for a 20 gallon tank or is it too much?
How often we need to clean this filter?
Depending on how many fish and how much food you put in you should find a balance. At end of week check filter if there too much feed a bit less
what if it dosent start gurgling on its own after a few pumps?
Keep pumping until it does, otherwise its incorrectly setup or faulty
Same as mine.I waited for a while but it doesn't start pumping
I’ve heard this filter is hum silent. Is yours?
Mines pretty quiet
I just defied the instructions filled the canister right out of the box, filled the tubes with water and plugged it in. It works. Why so many words in the directions?

i have a question - what is that biutiful fish all black with yellow lips :)
It looks like you have Molly's in a saltwater tank? Or am I mistaken?
Yes they do well in saltwater (Sailfin mollies)
I have the 06 and he is 100% right its a pain to prime. Definitely looking at upgrading to the 07 soon.
SuperFatGeez fluval has a decent comparison video
If it's hard to prime try putting a smear of food grade silicone grease on the primer shaft and on the plunger/plunger cylinder. That can help make a better seel.
Oh I thought it's was a super powerful flither
It's a very expensive
Flither
Hi I just bought a Fluval 407 ,and I wonder why is splashing so badly on side and all over my room, any ideas ? Please :(
Having the same problem. Did you find a solution?
@@teresalove2823 hey Teresa! Yes I did :) you have a grey handle between IN and OUT ,just pull it down or up , or in the middle to increase the flow of water :) works perfect for me now :)
@Jellybean 2 things. Make sure the rubber o-ring gasket is in place on the power head or it's flood time. And make sure the hose assembly is pushed all the way into the power head and the red locking handle is all the way down.
Can’t close fluval 307
My bubble thing is not working when I pull it up out of the water to check it it has water coming out the bottom of it. But there is no bubble making going on I tried to check everything I don’t know what to do could you please help me
Tried this and still not working ...spent 3 hrs doing the same thing
I watched your install video setting up 207 unfortunately i did not have the success per your video
I have an 06 ...I can't get it going for nothing,got it used and followed your videos for cleaning and priming, your a god send....but any tips to get this twat running?😢
Really informative video.. I over estimated my 307 a few days ago when I first set it up... From owning other types of less quality types of filters, I've since then - come to understand that the only way to get the filter to work properly was to pre-fill the canister with water before plugging it in to the power source. The reason being - according to the instruction manual - the motor would burn out. With Fluval, this changes everything!
NTL, ANYONE who has just purchased the "Rolls Royce" of canister filters, YOU NEED to pay FULL SIZE ATTENTION to this video!
My 407 won’t prime. 😢
Did you ever fix it????
Check the ball inside the intake tube
@@isaiahmonster6927 nope. Took it back.
The nozzle is the stupid part ever created on that filter
