When I bought my first canister filter, an Eheim 250, in the 1980’s I took the design for granted. It was housed in a home made cabinet that had a suitable hole in the back for the hoses. The angled outlet pipe and ability to angle the inlet on the Eheim made it easy to position the filter to easily accommodate the hoses. Moving forward I’ve had a number of other makes and models that have all had angled inlet and outlet hose connectors of one sort or another.
Except of course the Fluval 207 I bought some time ago. I stopped using it after a couple of weeks for two reasons. First it was quite noisy and secondly if was difficult to accommodate the hoses due to the fixed vertical inlet and outlet connectors. I had to fit a couple of fixed 90° bends in order to set it up at all, not an elegant solution.
I’m therefore wondering how other Fluval 07 users get round this issue without putting some tight bends in the hoses?
