Fluval 07 Series External Filters

Experience the next evolution in aquatic filtration with the all-new 07 series canister filters. Building on nearly 4 decades of trusted performance, this generation is engineered to be up to 25% quieter, more robust, energy efficient, and easier to use—delivering powerful, reliable filtration for freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

At the heart of the system is eTEC (Efficient Technology)—a synergy of advanced design, premium materials, and precision manufacturing that provides strong pump performance, reduced energy consumption, and ultra-quiet operation. Maintenance is effortless thanks to ergonomic AquaStop valves for instant hose disconnection, a fiber-reinforced quick priming handle for smooth start-ups, and single-action dual locking clamps for fast motorhead removal. EZ-Lift media baskets with a new center handle allow clean, simultaneous access to the entire media stack with less mess.

The intelligent canister layout utilizes every square inch to maximize media capacity without gaps, fitting neatly inside most aquarium cabinets. An independent pre-filter cartridge with 4 chambers features a vertical foam orientation that increases effective surface area versus horizontal layouts. The included Bio-Foam Max sports a rippled pattern that adds up to 30% more surface area to efficiently trap debris for longer, clearer water clarity.

Key features include:

Easy-to-use, fiber-reinforced quick primer
Factory-assembled impeller cover for simpler setup
EZ-Lift media baskets for quicker access and cleaner maintenance
30% larger pre-filter surface area for improved filtration
Larger vibration-dampening feet for added stability and protection

Designed for a wide range of aquarium volumes, the series delivers impressive pump performance, optimized pre-filter surface areas, generous basket capacities, and efficient wattage across models—ensuring powerful mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration in a compact footprint.

Media included across the range typically features combinations of Bio-Foam Max, Bio-Foam, Bio-Foam+, Carbon Remover, Bio-Max, and Quick-Clear, so you can achieve crystal-clear, healthy water right out of the box.
