Fluval 407
Manufacturer-rated for 50–100 US gal aquariums.
The largest 07 Series canister, with separate maker ratings for pump output and filter circulation.
Consider: At 19.3 inches it is the tallest 07 canister. A cabinet that fits the body can still leave too little room to lift the head and baskets out; measure before choosing.
US version, item A449. Check what’s in the box before you buy.

Pump output, filter circulation and maximum flow are measured in different ways. Your filter will move less water than the box says once media and hoses are in. Measure it with the flow calculator.
Before choosing this model
- Measure cabinet height, door opening, and hose route.
- Fluval’s running-cost table prints 407 US gal/h for this model; its specification table gives 383 US GPH (1,450 L/h), which matches the liters, so we use 383.
