Could a Fluval 107 properly filter a 35 gallon cube tank?

Fluval says its for 10-30 gallons. I would go with a bigger one, probably the 207. I used a 407 on my 75 gallons for years. But honestly if you can have a sump, it’s much easier.

that would be better but I feel like 5 gallons off wouldn’t be an issue. Especially since the sand and rock would technically not make it the full 35 gallons. what do you think?

I run a 207 on my 36 gal (30 gal water). I wish I had gone for the 307, just for the additional flow and internal capacity.

As mentioned, I would go bigger. More space for more media, more flow etc. Poster above wishes he went with a 307.

I have a 207, you think that’ll be better?

Better than a 107? Certainly. Adequate? Perhaps. Ideal? You may wish to upgrade, now or later. Fortunately, cost aside, this is a simple upgrade to do with an established tank if you are going over-the-edge and not through a bulkhead on the tank bottom. From the pic, I see that currently you are using over-the-edge.

I would definitely start with that. You’ll see in a while how it goes and adapt.
