I need to my a trip to your area soon.

[@Jimenez20]

This just helped me so much thank you!! I did notice I didn't have that white cap piece on the bottom for clean out. Is that something I should worry about?

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

You don’t need that. That is just an extra stop/water block.

Hello.
I can’t understand it myself and I can’t find information anywhere about the suction cups that come with the filter; these are the suction cups that are in the bag with hose clamps.
Do you know what these suction cups are for and where to install them?

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

They should go on the back of cage on the line that comes in the take to pick up the water “intake”.

[@P.B5864]

@@Jeffdoeswhat There are already suction cups on the water intake grid.
I spoke for other suction cups, for those that are kept separately in a small bag.
What are they for, maybe you know?

[@azuwhr]

How often do you need to clean the filters

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

@@azuwhr i do a full clean about every 3 months. But i do do weekly water changes.

[@azuwhr]

@@Jeffdoeswhat thanks, so you clean out the filter machine every 3 months. That's not bad but weekly water changes make sense.

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

@@azuwhr i do also have a prefilter on my intake that gets cleaned weekly. It catches majority of derby.

[@P.B5864]

Hello.
500 liter aquarium, would you choose 407 or fx4?

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

I would use the FX4. It has stronger flow.

[@P.B5864]

@@Jeffdoeswhat Thank you.
The involuntary nature of the pump on the fx4 is greater, I agree.
But the 407 has more volume for biology and the 7 series is generally very reliable filters.
Now I have a brand new 407, which I haven’t started using yet, but I have the opportunity to buy a new fx4 at a good price :)

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

@@P.B5864 i kept a 407 on my 75 gallon for 2 years. It was a great filter. Both i have no issues with. The 407 was on a planted aquarium.
