Pros & Cons
Pros
The flow is definitely not too much for my guppy tank i also know flow could be adjustes if it is too much which it is not. Using this on a 45 gallon tank takes about 15-20 minutes to do maintenance on per week with heavily stocked tank.
It’s stylish and the filter is very quiet compared to the 06.
This filter is a really nice upgrade from the 06 series. The power is awesome, and is adjustable. Love this filter.
Maintenance is infrequent and straightforward. Only complaint is that i don't care for the output nozzle design on this 407. I really wish there was an alternate available.
Cons
The flow rate keeps dropping and needs much more maintenance. It loses suction and then you have to fight with it to get it working again. Brand new pump keeps leaking on both sides. Cleaned channel for o ring and replaced it multiple times and still ... Read More
It's a shame, i use to always have great things to say about their customer service, not sure what happened. No response from them after two emails, btw.
Everything is made of plastic. The plastic that holds the hinge in place is thin and there are screw holes close by. The plastics used are cheaper quality and snapped off. There is a thin brittle plastic insert that is held in place by four screws.
It's frustrating trying to communicate with someone that appears to be ignorant on how their products work. The instructions are unclear and the diagrams are tiny.

I, seriously, thought it was sent to me without the instructions.

Competitiveness
I have had about 5 other canisters filters and this is by far the best.
Over the course of 20 years, i have tried many different filters—sunsun, marineland, eheim, aquean, etc.
I put a different brand filter on the tank that i had until i received my new fluval filter.
The 407 is quieter and about the same size as the 404.
