FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

The pre-filter should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks. The main filter media should be rinsed or replaced as needed, typically every 1-3 months, depending on the aquarium's bioload.

What kind of filter media should I use?

The Fluval 407 comes with the necessary filter media. You can also customize your filtration with additional media like activated carbon or phosphate removers.

How do I prime the filter?

Use the primer on the filter head to pump water into the canister until the filter is full and the water begins to flow through the output.

How often should I replace the filter media?

Mechanical filter media can be rinsed and reused until they show signs of wear and tear. Chemical media, such as activated carbon, should be replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

What causes the filter to make noise?
