Fluval 107 Canister Filter The Fluval 107 Canister Filter is a compact external aquarium filter designed for freshwater and saltwater aquariums from 10 to 30 US gallons / 40 to 130 L. As part of Fluval’s 07 Series, it delivers quiet, efficient, multi-stage filtration in a small cabinet-friendly footprint, making it an excellent upgrade from hang-on filtration for smaller aquariums that need cleaner presentation, improved media capacity, and dependable water movement. Compact 07 Series Filtration for Smaller Aquariums The 107 is the smallest model in the Fluval 07 Series, but it still uses the same core design language as the larger 207, 307, and 407 filters. Water enters through the intake, passes through the vertical pre-filter and foam stages, then moves through stacked media baskets before returning to the aquarium. This separates mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration into a controlled external canister layout that is easier to customize than many internal or hang-on filters. Quiet Performance and Easy Maintenance Features eTEC efficient construction: Fluval’s Efficient Technology design combines refined materials, engineering, and motor performance to reduce noise while maintaining consistent filtration power. Quiet 07 Series operation: The re-engineered pump is designed to run up to 25% quieter than the previous generation, making the 107 well suited to living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and display areas. Vertical pre-filter access: The dedicated pre-filter cartridge increases mechanical filtration area and helps capture debris before water reaches the main media stack. EZ-Lift media basket system: The center-handle basket design allows the media stack to be lifted out more cleanly for service, reducing mess during maintenance. AquaStop valve system: The ergonomic valve assembly helps disconnect hosing from the canister with less water spill and simpler service access. Lift-Lock motorhead clamps: Single-action clamps allow the motorhead to be released and secured quickly without fighting multiple awkward clips. Large primer handle: The redesigned primer helps start siphon flow with fewer pumps during setup or after maintenance. Vibration-dampening rubber feet: Enlarged stabilizers help keep the canister steady and reduce vibration transfer into the cabinet or floor.

It is especially useful when the aquarium needs more media capacity than a basic power filter can offer while still keeping operating power low and maintenance manageable. Official Fluval 07 Series Video Setting Up the Fluval 107 Canister Filter Place the canister below the aquarium, install the included media in the recommended flow order, connect the intake and output assemblies, and use the primer to start water flow before plugging in the motor. Keep hosing runs as smooth and direct as possible, clean mechanical media regularly, and preserve biological media during maintenance by rinsing it gently in removed aquarium water rather than untreated tap water.
