Pimp My Filter #35 - Fluval 406 Canister Filter (Same set up for 407)

Fluval 406 (Ebay UK / EU): https://ebay.to/2IkuIjA Fluval 407 (Ebay UK / EU): https://ebay.to/2WiwpmK Fluval 406 (Amazon): https://geni.us/gxlybuw Fluval 407 (Amazon): https://geni.us/A7aDO Foams and Biohome Ultimate: http://www.filterpro.co.uk (FilterPro site has links to suppliers in other countries) Biohome Ultimate on Amazon UK: https://geni.us/GDV8oLd Biogravel on Amazon UK: https://geni.us/o98PP Another great filter from Fluval which is suitable for a normally stocked tank of around 300 litres (for a FULL cycle). It is relatively cheap for a quality canister filter and will be on offer (while stocks last) from many different suppliers now that the 407 is available - check links above. Fluval make very good filters and this one has the bonus of having lots of mechanical filtration (foams) so cleaning schedule can be extended beyond what would normally be necessary for similar sized canister filters of a standard design. The set up of this filter will also apply to the new Fluval 407 and the same method applies to all the filters in the range (with varying amounts of media required). WHAT IS A FULL CYCLE? If someone tells you the aquarium nitrogen cycle ends with the production of nitrate that is incorrect - please read on A full cycle is completed by bacteria - the aerobic part of biological filtration which processes ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate followed by an anaerobic part which processes nitrate into soluble nitrogen which bubbles off to the atmosphere. Therefore it requires a suitable amount of excellent quality filter media to be able to provide the environment for both aerobic AND anaerobic bacteria - that is what Biohome ultimate does perfectly but even with such good media there are limitations and we recommend the following amounts for different stocking scenarios: (1 US gallon = 3.8 litres) (1kg = 2.2 lbs) Average community tropical aquarium = 1kg per 100 litres Average coldwater aquarium = 1kg - 1.5kg per 100 litres Predator aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Large cichlid aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Malawi / Tanganyikan aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Marine aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Average mixed fish pond = 1kg per 200 litres Average koi pond = 1kg per 150 litres You may be disagreeing with the above figures but remember that they are for a FULL CYCLE not half a job - achieving 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite is quite easy since aerobic bacteria grows freely on any surface but the anaerobic bacteria responsible for COMPLETING the cycle needs more a specialized habitat. Size a filter properly, set it up sensibly and you will have perfect water - it's that simple....and your filter won't be the dreaded 'Nitrate factory'. This series of videos is all about trying to squeeze more efficiency out of internal and external aquarium filters which generally have a limited filtering capacity - If you have a filter you'd like me to feature in a video then please contact me on: [email protected] 07772848730 (Richard) Anyone who sends a filter (UK only at present) will have it upgraded and returned to them for free and the only cost you will pay is how much it costs to ship it to me - I'm helping to boost your filter and the resulting videos will hopefully be useful to viewers all over the world so it's a win/win.
