Description

Fluval Quick-Clear Water Polishing Pads are uniquely designed to fit Fluval Canister Filters. These extra thick, micro-fine polyester pads effectively trap micro particles and debris as water passes through. Fluval Water Polishing Pads are ideally used when cloudy water occurs or after tank maintenance. Rinse the pad thoroughly before inserting in the aquarium filter, and it fits in the upper media basket of your Fluval 104/204 and 105/205 canister filters. Pads should be replaced every 3 months, or sooner if the pad becomes clogged and fi¬lter flow-rate diminishes.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.

    • works great but packaging was awful

I’m ordering this item for 3 years. I like the product and I never had issue with the package itself. this was the first time I received a damaged box. Amazon package was great ( no issue on Amazon).

    • Great filter for a great price!
Style: Quick-Clear Size: 107/207
I tried this product originally purchased at a local pet shop. My fishtank was cloudy so after reading suggestions I have it a try and so grateful I did. My fishtanks are crystal clear, no floating debris because this filter captures it all. After i read out, I went to Amazon for a better price and I found it. I cut mine and replace sponge in the filters and the difference in water clarity is night and day. I have tried other filter media but I feel this is the best of the best. ... show more

    • Easily cut to fit
Style: Quick-Clear Size: 107/207
I use these in addition to my aqueon 10. I cut a piece about the size of my finger and place it right before the water exits the spout. It picks up alot of fine, noticeable color difference in pad in 3 days. One pack will last me over 6 months.

    • Strongly recommend.
Style: Quick-Clear Size: 107/207
I put one in my back filter and replace it once a month, rinse it in aquarium water once or twice a week. Great for picking up the soil in dirted tanks after plants are moved. Takes a day or two to do the job so give it time. Change this filter instead of the more expensive filters (which now lasts for over a year instead of each month). ... show more

    • Perfect solution for most filters.
Style: Bio-Foam+ Size: 107/207
Works great... I am actually cutting in half and trimming for use in a Marineland Penguin 100 filter. Lasts quite some time, plus 2 dollars for 4 changes. My set up... Marineland Penguin 100 with foam insert at bottom left of pump inlet. Bioballs on top of inlet. Filter Media (cut to fit,) above both. Carbon bag on top of that. Flow rate and filtration is significantly better with this set up than using marineland filters, (also a lot cheaper and less maintenance.) ... show more

    • Does polish the water, doesn't fit great.
Style: Quick-Clear Size: 107/207
I don't know if the interior of the 206 pump is slightly differently shaped or if this pad just fits slightly loose to begin with. It does work, but takes quite a while - enough water gets past the filter that small particles avoid the filter for hours, or days. Some of it may be due to a newer tank (old bio load though, so no bacterial bloom) and very fine sand still coming up into the water - but it is hard to come up with a reason that a product manufactured by the same company that made the pump fits with a full 1/4" gap around the edges. ??? Again, it works well - and I will probably keep one in continually because it does make a difference - but I don't get the undersized aspect. Perhaps it is to allow flow even if the media gets seriously clogged - but if you are going to be that inattentive, why buy a polishing pad? ... show more

    • Save your money, use quilt batting. See review for instructions.
Style: Quick-Clear Size: 107/207
These water polishing pads don't accomplish anything that a $5 roll of quilt batting doesn't do (well...except that the Fluval are pre-cut to size), and you can make about 30-50 filters/pads this size out of one roll of batting. The nature of this type of filter is that it traps fine particles, so they get clogged very easily. If you want to keep crystal clear water you would go through 1-2 of these pads per week. One roll of quilt batting has lasted me several months. To make the filter keep the batting folded so that it is four layers thick and just cut to the size of your filter basket. You could use as many or as few layers as you wanted. I have seen that others use the stuffing from pillows but I don't recommend that, the individual fibers are more likely to come apart and could travel through the pump and end up in your tank. You don't want your fish to eat this stuff. I ordered these just to see if I was missing out on any great benefits and nope, I'm going back to incredibly cheap quilt batting. ... show more
