Fluval Ammonia Pads 107/207 3 Pack
A pre-cut filter pad that drops straight into the media basket, no cutting to size. These are genuine-fit ammonia remover pads for the Fluval 106/206 and 107/207 canister filters, sold as a pack of three ready-shaped inserts that combine mechanical straining with ammonia-absorbing chemical media in one layer.
Will it fit my filter?
These pads are shaped to the media basket used in the Fluval 106, 206, 107 and 207 canister filters - the same basket size across both the 06 and 07 series, which is why one pad fits all four models. They are not the correct size for the larger 306/406/307/407 filters or the FX range.
Key features
- Two jobs in one pad - mechanical filtration traps floating debris and waste while the built-in media pulls ammonia out of the water passing through it.
- Reduces ammonia spikes - useful when cycling a new tank, after a heavy feed, or when the tank is more heavily stocked than usual.
- Custom-fit shape - cut to the 06/07 series media basket, so it seats properly with no gaps for water to bypass.
- Fresh and marine safe - can be used in both freshwater and saltwater systems.

Suitable for the 106, 206, 107 and 207 canister filters, in freshwater or marine setups, including after treating fish with medication where extra ammonia control is useful. Not suitable for the 306/406/307/407 or FX-series filters, which take a larger pad.
Care and maintenance
Fluval doesn't publish a fixed swap-out interval for these pads, since how fast the media saturates depends on your ammonia load rather than a fixed volume of water. Keep an eye on your ammonia test kit and replace the pad once readings start climbing again, or as part of your regular filter media rotation.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Fluval's standard warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Ships standard parcel post.
Common questions
Do these fit the 107 and the 207?
Yes - the 106/206 and 107/207 share the same media basket size, so this one pad fits all four models.
Can I use these in a saltwater tank?
Yes, these pads are rated for both freshwater and marine use.
How often should I replace the pad?
There's no fixed schedule from Fluval - watch your ammonia readings and swap it in when they start to rise, or replace it as part of your normal media service.
