4.0 out of 5 stars Does polish the water, doesn't fit great.
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money - Buy a bag of floss and do it yourself
This is a waste of money, all you get is 3 pieces of filter floss cut up in the shape of the filter canister, you can do this yourself much cheaper.

This review is from: Fluval Fine Filter Water Polishing Pad for 104/105/204/205 Models - 3-Pack (Misc.)
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?
