I won the giveaway. I installed it on my 29 gallon aquarium. It's lightly planted and has around 25 black neon tetras. I never had any ammonia issues and my water was always crystal clear. In my experience it will work well up to 30 gallons. As for it being quiet, my aquarium is about 3 feet from my bed and I never really heard it.

Really appreciate this video! I’m looking at a 107 for my 20 long and wasn’t sure if this would work,given the depth of the tank. I’ll go ahead and order one. I’m not able to get water changes done every week right now so hoping this filter with added media will help me keep the tank healthy in between tank maintenance.

I'm a Father Fish fan, ocean aquarium shop fan, have deep soil and sand substrate in my tanks. I leave them alone, just observe, fish really healthy. They don't look like a pristine show tank, they look like mother nature. 😊🍀❤️

I have a 107 on my 20g axolotl tank and it does a fantastic job. It's quiet, the flow adjustment is excellent, it's small. Great filter.

I'm going to buy one for my 20 gallon. Been running a Seachem filter on it (which is quite good), but figured a canister filter might bring more benefits overall. That, and, another aquarium could use that Seachem filter instead. Thank you for this video, it helped make my mind up about this.

Damned be the blackbeard algae ! Thanks for the review and i can see from that comments that you’r back at work. Great stuff !

The first digit in the model number is for the size (1-, 2-, 3-, 4-). The 0 doesn't matter. The last digit is for the generation (-5, -6, -7) The 105, 106, and 107 are the same model, just with each ascending number, a newer generation. The x06 generation is still being sold in stores, but is being phased out by the newer x07 models.

Have a 207 and 307 and so far great filters.

Just bought a 107 and that really makes me confident to set it up, thanks buddy

LOVE the shirt!!

Like Fluval stuff! Using a 206 on a 20gal tank. I use a foam prefilter on the intake strainer, it prevents a lot of crud from getting into filter. Using Biohome too. Tank doing great.

Great information and review!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I hope you have a great day 👍🌱🐟🌿🙏

You'e back! Yay! And congrats for getting your job back. I was worried about you just a bit.

Love that t-shirt 👍

Looking forward to see next video. Afther watching father fish. I have try this method on 2 tanks. And now afther 5months in to it. I can tell you. Probly 2 of my must stabile tanks. No problems

Dude you have me cracking up 🤣🤣 'STOP! That's some kind of warning that we won't read'

Why they wouldn't make the spray bar clear is beyond me, who wants to look at that thing in their beautiful rimless tank. Same thing with the hoses on the filter, wake up Fluval, it's 2022. Great video thanks.

Sean...your shirt!!! LMAO too funny! I have 2 Fluval tanks I haven't set up yet, Fluval F35 (15 gallon) and the F90 (34 gallons). Websites have been low lately for all planted tank related items (even got an email and a refund a couple of days ago from MyAquariumBox). Of course these Fluval tank kits come with Fluval canister filters, so this video is very helpful for me. I will not forget the gasket. I will not forget the gasket. I will not forget the gasket.

Agree they are good filters. Only thing I disable is the corrugated hose, slows flow in my opinion but can get around that easily. Sunsun I have too and they are ok, have lots of media room. The fluval trays are definitely innovative in design. I wouldn’t run a 107 on a 20 gallon personally, I’m a high flow person in planted tanks. Maybe use it on a 10. However as much as fluval cost these days I think I would go with Oase biomaster in a new set up just that being a little more I have my heater in the filter and their prefilter I find superior to other brands. Wish other canisters would copy that design.

Love the t-shirt. :)

good stuff. cant wait to see how the new thicker substrate turns out. im having the same issues with BBA. cant get rid of it for the life of me

That T-Shirt is awesome!

The 07 series has a flow control the small lever up or as desired

Awesome plants!!!

Our water has so much silicon , we tested our bore well water , we use 107 fluval

That looks a hell of a lot bigger than 15 gallons

American Flag fish are great at clearing out algae

I done the same on my Fluval 407 IN & OUT’s, but eventually got it right..

Its 4.40 In the morning

Awesome video my friend God bless

Pecktec: It's a great video as always. The "hole in the wall" fish store in California with the super deep substrate is "Ocean Aquarium" in San Francisco. The owner, Justin and his wife there have a lot of useful perspective on the hobby. They are demigods to me. Truly, the ultimate filter "media" is the substrate itself. They share a point of view with "Father Fish." If you want really good, scientific information on a deep substrate I can't recommend enough the KZfaq channel called "Jay's Aquarium." He appears to be a young fellow in South Korea and he really understands the matter. What I like about Jay's Aquarium is that he acknowledges the benefits of the deep substrate but also the shortcomings. Ultimately, his experiment is successful but he doesn't continue it forever. As Ben O'Chart and others note, nitrate build-up isn't the only reason we fish keepers change water. That said, the no water change / top up only Ocean Aquarium fish store in San Francisco works over the long term because the proprietor has an insane amount of plants in the tanks. The fish barely have room to swim. I myself have a very stable 65 gallon with a very deep substrate but I do still change some water periodically. As for the filters, I love the fluval '07 series. They work well for me. Another great canister filter for a small tank in the Eheim Ecco Pro 2232. I also like that one. The Eheim 2232 and the Fluval 107 are great alternatives to a sponge filter for 10-20 gallon tanks. Thanks for your great videos and engaging personality. - Loach from Patreon

"I won't go into detail" ...but actually will xD good stuff :P

lol dude at the top, next to the in and out tank hoses is a lever u can flip up and down to change the flow rate going out.

Wish the spray bar was more readily available. I diy’d two and they work great, but they are ugly!

I Always rinse the new Purigen pouch before I put it in .

I want one of this for a 24 cube gallon project with invertebrates and rasboras

Why would you make pieces of a spray bar different colours?

What is a name of media with ar u use ? Because u use all original foam and pots u fill up with different media .

You adjust the flow with the lever on the hose connection device

Algexit gets rid of algae brilliant.

I just purchase a Fluval 207 using it in my 35/40 Gallon Very Pleased Should I use the Air Bubbles? or the Spray Bar Kit?

What are those 3 Red fish .....I would start with increasing your gravel vacuum for the elevated Hair algae ...thanks for sharing

The 106 isn't smaller its just the previous generation of the same filter

Wonder how do we connect this amazing canister filter to your aquarium chiller, which is using other type of hose... anybody tested it? Care to share more info on KZfaq? Thank you very much everyone!

Hi Mr Pecktec. I am especially fond of your Fluval tech reviews. Do you envisage doing an update review to your hang on the back filters or do you plan to do an internal filter review on the fluval U series? In any case keep up the good work. Your fluval reviews are the bomb. Cheers.

I have the 307 my friend wants the 107 but his tank has a lid ?

Nice shirt bro.. 😂

106 is the first gen

Doesn't that canister filter have a lot more room for media than a hang on back rated for 30 gallons?

Great video. I've often wondered whether the amount of biological media we actually need in the form of ceramic or sintered glass is way overestimated. Many people run quite large aquariums on sponge alone.

Spray bar seems dumb right angle down just to have a 180 back up . Can't you turn the first 90 bend pointing up ?

Strong flow will create more algae. LED light not very healthy for aquarium, old stile bulbs 40w way better. Thick gravel raising a temperature.

Should I get the Fluval 107 or Fluval 207 for my Fluval Flex 57L tank?

God I hope I get the answer, I know this video is old, what is the name of the tank next to your 15 gallon flora!?

Bro..what kind of resonator the red one is hanging on the wall

So this doesn't work for a 65? I got a new tank and it came with it. Ive never had a canester filter before and the water is murky as F and omg it's so freaking loud.

Would you run fluval 107 over a sicce shark adv internal filter. I bought the sicce but haven’t used it yet because I want one of these 107. I have a 14gallon

Pleckoooooooossssssss.lots of pleckosss for the algae

Has any of your fish ever jumped out of your uncovered tank ?

Don’t like fluval. water isn’t polished before it hits the biological foam. The foam section they really need to redesign

Is hi pecteck can yiu use wine thing else besides the spray bar?thanks

could you tell me if you reduce the water caudal, does the motor increase noise??

Eihiem classic 150 or fluval 107?

I never cut the hose I shed a tear when you cut that hose I always buy an extra when I buy a fluval your better off having extra than not having enough....

Pecktec you back to work? Havent seen you lately

Is it good for a 75 gallon tank because I’m on a budget

Is the intake tube pretty adjustable? I was thinking about putting this on a tank only 10 inches high

Hello, how loud is your filter? I've bought 207 and the noise is c.a. 55 to 60 dB and I wonder can it be more quiter. BTW, great work

Would this be too powerful for a 6 gallon tank? And what is the max water lift? I really want to place this on the floor. Also can you adjust the flow rate?

Is the 107 practically suitable for a 25 gallon tank?

can i use this for the fluval edge?

Would it be okay to use on a nano 5 gallon tank?

would this be any good for a 90L(Fluval Roma 90)?

Just asking for some advice but which canister can I use on my 10 gallon betta tank the fluval 107 or a dophin cf300

FIRST OF ALL PRIME YOUR PUMP FIRST, AND THEN TURN IT ON!!!! I stack my biohome vertically in my 406. It's really not that hard if you prop the trays at an angle when you start to stack them. Be patient at the beginning, and by the 4th row the pieces are stacking themselves. I did the same on my FX4 and 5 as well. You'll have extra room to "loose stack" on top of those trays.

I really want to get one of these but I have guppies and there can be alot of fry, im worried about the fry getting sucked into the nozzle that's in the tank..does this happen or isit just me thinking it does?

Any idea why when I take the taps off a lot of water, and I mean a lot squirts out? Not just a drop or two I mean it literally squirts out. It’s also quite loud working. Only bought it today

1:24 Review 6:54 Unboxing 19:27 Setup 28:37 After some time of usage

I’ve always wanted to try a canister but this one is 2-3 x’$ more than a darn good HOB. Is it worth that?

What is that large silver device to the right of the Fluval at 24:00?

First!

that t-shirt... xD

How often do we have to change the filter

Is it good for 20 gallon aquarium?

Hello, I would like to know what happens to the Fluval 107 canister when the power goes out and then comes back, does it continue to work by itself?

Is this canister filter saltwater safe?

hey pecktec do you know if the 107 and the 207 are using the same pump?

Did you have to fill up the canister before you plugged it in ... or does it fill up on its own

Anoxic filter is the way to keep the nitrates low. When nitrates are low, algae growth are controlled. Maybe you want to look up Kevin Novak's work

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED by this pump, I bought 2 on one of the largest online sales sites: the observation is that they are not waterproof, the seal system allows air to pass through. I am based in the north of France and no reseller of these products.

I have a lot of substrate (ADA Amazoin) and sand cap. I have the fluval 106 on it with CO2 on a 20 gal tank. Hair algae just started showing up. Something I noticed is that you have a couple bottles of Aquavitro in the cabinet, or it looked like you do. Are you using that on your tank? I switched from Tropica all in one firtz to the Aquavitro line about the same time the hair algae started... My thinking perhaps reducing iron. At the moment I have a automated doser doing exactly what the bottles recommend. Plants are doing excellent other than the hair algae.

I was going to buy one of these but got to 12 minutes and decided against it. Too many components and looks way too complicated.

I watched your video shortly after ordering a 307 for a 50 gallon aquarium. Do you find that your biological media stays fairly clean after removing the foams and polishing pads from the bottom tray?

107 or 207 for 28 gallon?

Not first

Hi, i know what the paper says, but do you think this 103 can run a 75G tank with only an arowana and a pleco? The little guy is just too cute to pass! Thanks and regards!

Not a fan of "Alien". Just unable to watch that t-shirt. My experience with Fluval is their tubing is weird and I could not make it work. It would not fit in a standard 55g stand. It's just not made for real world uses. Probably over designed. (I did skim listen to the video) LOL

As far as effective surface area is concerned, it looks like a downgrade to me.

Damn. I really want this filter but that flow is just too much.

Hello I normally have a sump system never a Fluval. I had to set up an emergency 36 gallon bow front tank does this make efficient oxygen for a saltwater tank? Thank you!!
