my experience with the fluval 407 filter

Hi everyone,

I've recently damaged the external case of my filter and, as it's quite pricey, I'm not keen on replacing the whole thing.

After searching online, I found that you can buy these cases separately, but I can only find a 406 model - does anyone know if this is compatible with the 407?

Don't want to purchase if it's the wrong size.

Thanks,
Dave

Same issue here, I'm also using a 407 model, but I'm not sure if the canister itself is compatible with a 406 external canister case - would hate for you to buy the wrong one.

I'd suggest getting in touch with the company, they'll probably be able to give you a more definitive answer than we can here.

I found the answer - the Fluval A20198 is the part number for the 407 canister, and it looks like the 406 and 407 parts aren't compatible.

I found it on Fluval's US site for $41.99, and $61.99 on the Canadian one.
