Great channel. Question for ya.....I have the fluval 406 filter (predecessor to the 407) and want to give it a refresh in parts since I'm moving it to a different tank. Do you know if the 407 rim connectors will work for the older 406? I can't find the a replacement rim connectors specifically for the 406. If you have any input I'd love to hear. Thanks!!
That's a great question!! This was the first fluval filter I got so don't know too much but we gonna get the new sponge filters and carbon all that, that goes into it maybe once we do that I can make a another video on the process
How long did it take for it clear? I just started my tank and got one of these filters today! It’s been on for 6 hours and still cloudy! Any video update?
Yeah we just connect the tubes to the canister and plug it in, make sure it’s in the right one (if the tubes are crossed it won’t work) check the in and out tune sides
@@OrdinaryCaptain The instructions say not to fill it up with water and not to plug it in until it's full. I have worked up a sweat priming the dam thing and is not filling up. Trying just plugging it in but nothing.
Yeah it feels up with the tank water, the gray handle, you push and pull that down. Push the red lever and gray ones down not sure what to call it but those go down before pumping the water into it

Not gong to lie im pretty sure Carbon goes above the biomax, just purchased one and they had the white look pebbles above the charcoal/carbon
NICE, can't wait to see the finish.💪💪💪
You see the end of the video?
Great Video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Move your bubbles away from your intake….. it’ll help with the output from spitting bubble like that
How do you do the undergravel bubbles???
It's an air stone and I have 2 of the air stone bars
Thanks!!!
Ofc!

Well we put the filter in at night and in the morning it was clear we also have stuff to make it clear I forgot what it’s called exactly
Missed a couple of steps I think. No priming? You just put the tubes in there then plug it in?

What going on with the pulsing output is that normal?
When the water goes back into the tank?
I think he's talking about your powerhead
How many L?
The tank or for the filter?
@Jimkiz Channel well it’s a 60 gallon tank
This filter totally sucks. It leaks. Get the fluval fx4 or fx6
Was it sealed all the way?
@@OrdinaryCaptain Yes, I even contacted fluval and they sent me a picture of where to put the o ring and i put it on correctly.
That's the only thing they told you?
@ pretty much. The guy thought I put the o ring on wrong.
@MarkC-x7s dang that's crazy!
