In depth video. I run two fluval filters 207 and 307 on my tank I alternate maintenance between the two every six weeks and they are always dirty wouldn’t leave it a year !!! Maybe I am ocd but especially when u have well stocked tank
First I use water from the tap to clean the inside of my cannister filters. I make sure the temperature is close, but never have had a crash. Rinse bio rings, and sponges and insides. So much easier to clean than a bucket. Also I use a good pre-filter sponge that I clean weekly.
Thank you for this. So many videos don't show certain things on the filter and it's good to see a real world use of the product and what to expect.
Man! Clean in more often!
Good idea to put some silicone grease on the rubber sealing/O-ring.
Maybe do it more often, every 2 months for that many fish. That is completely clogged and won't be doing your motor any good, or the fish to be honest
Actually, the fish should be perfectly happy, the moem won't hurt them, it's the filter to be concerned about.

Do you use pre-filter sponges to trap food from going into your filter?
Great videos, but jeewiz!! Your filter is rank!! Why did you leave it so long before cleaning it?? I'm surprised your fish are still alive! 😲
how noisy is your filter? i have a 407 but i can still hear a good humming noise :(
Hi there! I have a 190L marine tank will this fit perfectly or should I get the 407?
why do you leave it for so long to clean it you are luckey it was working
I would bin that tooth brush after finishing; no brushing your teeth with that lol.
😮
The mechanic parts is important to clean good , a dirty mechanic shortens the lifespan of the pump
How do you put it back?
i clean mine under running water , makes it less messy and quicker , i am done in 10 min
I'm never had mine this nasty and I have been lazy with it but I have only got a 200l tank
Holy crap, that place you live in is in dire need of basic maintenance!
How many fish you have in aquarium???? And how many litter It is???
At the time, maybe 50 fish, but I've moved some to another tank since making this video, there's probably about 30 in there now. It is a 160L tank.
you should have cleaned and lube the motor head gasket.
Omg, very dirty,,but i clean canister filter once a year😇
you will be fine if you are keeping only 2 guppies in there, lol
@@MrMavhen I'm really a friend, I keep 5 discus in an 80 gallon aquarium
I clean mine once a month
Wow, that’s bad !! I clean mine all over when I do a water change every three weeks.
You know, if the tank is balanced, you shouldn't need water changes, especially if you have a good filter and only feed two or three times a month 👍
Sorry, I meant to say two or three times a week!
Man you haven't a clue, you left it six months. I can only imagine the state of your underpants 👀

Never rinse bio media in tap what’s the point of bio media then test the water after a day you will see for your self
Way to kill all your bacteria. Use tank water
Never rinse in tap water. Kills the beneficial bacteria. Clean all media in the water from the filter
Lazy!!
