Customize Fluval 07 Canister Filter | How to Set Up, Pimp My Filter | 107 207 307 407
Рет қаралды 34,558
Күн бұрынFinally got my hands on (in my opinion) the perfect canister filter for my 90P (48 gallons) rimless tank project, the Fluval 307. In fact, I got so excited I decided to do a set up video, and customizing the tubing (inlet/outlet) for the Fluvial 307.
Note, I got the wrong sized tubing (12/16mm) for this, but in the video I will show you how to make it work (correct tubing size is 16/22mm).

Franco thank you dude! Oh one thing, if your hose is smaller, it actually constricts the flow. For me it’s fine, I didn’t need the full power of the 307.

I did the same to my aquarium but with these semi rigid hoses it's a pita to get the tube off the glass to clean. I'm switching to silicone hosing a little more expensive but worth it. Love your videos
@TankTastic 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I agree, softer the hose the better. The Chihiros hose I’ve used is a good balance. Soft enough to remove/install and hard enough to not kink like crazy.

Clear tubing from amazon, pipe set from ebay (cheaper). You can also find the tubing st your local hardware stores. No the pipe set was the same size as the tubing. Note, since I made this mistake, the flow is choked due to the smaller tubing.

@TankTastic 4 жыл бұрын
Juan José Aguilar Thank you! I have not tried the Fluval hose to a 17mm lily pipe. But I know for a fact that the 12mm Lily pipe that I have is way too small for the Fluval hose. So it’s safe to assume that the 17mm should be a fit.
@TankTastic 4 жыл бұрын
Juan José Aguilar also, I think I am going to get bigger hose and pipe set soon. The 12mm is smaller and I feel like it restricts the flow slightly. Going to need every bit of that when it gets packed in there.

Nice to know, I'm really thinking on buying the 107 to upgrade my hob filter in my 10g planted tank, but I want to replace the intake and outtake for Lily pipes and I had doubts about the tubing, but I think the 12mm lilypipe with the tubing you used in the video could work for me.
