How would this be hooked up to a fluval 206?

I have the Fluval 306 and I installed it in the outlet or return hose. You have to cut the hose coming out of the canister filter and purchase two fluval connectors (like those used on the inlet side) and install them on the UV Sterilizer. Push the hose into the connectors installed on both ends of the sterilizer (I also used silicone at this connection) and you should have no leaks.

No - this is a filter on its own and is powered by an air pump. If you want a sponge over the intake of your HOB, search for fluval pre filter sponge.

You might be able to since it's a standard hook up. You might need adapters. I hook it it with a Coleman tower to a large tank.

Hagen makes the Fluval line of pump filters. They should have parts search by model I suspect, but if the unit is not that old (less than a couple years) the ring gasket may not be set in the groove correctly before clamped down.

Yes, it works pretty well with my Fluval Edge 6 gallon, the water is pumped up to the top of the filter screen, and runs down back into the tank. If I hold it at an angle, it can run down my hand/arm, or down onto the top of the tank, so just be aware of that, and it works fine once you get used to it and angle it only slightly. I improved the filtering a million times by using a 100 micron filter pad that I cut with scissors to fit into the screen chamber - it prevents the water from getting cloudy 100%! Suction is superb without the bottom extension on, it sucks up about 2 inches of gravel, raise the vacuum up a bit, and the gravel falls back down, then use it to smooth it back out. Highly recommended. Yes, it works pretty well with my Fluval Edge 6 gallon, the water is pumped up to the top of the filter screen, and runs down back into the tank.

It has adjustable fittings. This fits the hose on the fx6/fx5 without modifications. If the hose is the same on the 206 then yes. I will say this unit is made for a larger system than the 206 can handle and would be overkill. Otherwise the standard Fluval hoses sold for the fx5 fx6 fits easily. You may consider a smaller unit than this, and or screw based hose clamps thst you can find at almost any hardware store.

You need one full inch (I just measured) from the side of each prong to the very edge of the side. Also this has a sticker on it reading "Not For Use With Aquariums And All Other Water Related Products!" I would suggest you might swap out your old outlet for a 12amp GFI Outlet. They are only about $12.00 and they're very easy to install. It is "Code" to have a GFI anywhere near a sink or tub anyways. Good Luck!

It will work just fine. Place in the tank where you want it, place gravel/rocks around it. Hook it up to an air pump and plug into an electrical outlet. Done!

Its no bother. The intake is the unit. You submerge about 90 to 100 percent of the Fluval Nano into the aquarium. There should be a minimum water level line mark on the side. The water level should be above that water level line.

It just sits on top of your skimmer basket. Attach it to the vacuum hose, fill the hose with water from the return inlet then slip it thru the skimmer opening

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

I have mine conected to Odyssea CFS 500 Canister Filter & it works fine. May have to get some different hose conectors. I think the Fluval has smaller hoses, no biggy. Also will need to get a shutoff valve to control water flow. That is something I did too. I really don't see any reason why it should not work. Good luck!! Linda

The adapter you will need is $50 (slightly more with shipping I imagine) - thanks to Floridasmile for providing that link with the info...I would have probably bought this without knowing that otherwise, and would have been disappointed to have to pay 50% of skimmer cost on top, just for an adapter. OTOH I bought a floating fountain that attaches to one of my returns (also not threaded, just plaster), and was able to get that to work somehow (and they had multiple adapters included with fountain, all of which assumed a threaded return). Maybe I could do the same with this.

I bought this for a 5 gallon Fluval Spec and it works great. Very easy to use and makes water changes easy. Should work for you.

I don't think that you can. I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 filter. It is not performing like I had hoped. By the way, it has a very funky smell (new out of the container too).

I would NOT go with the Fluval heaters... They only heat the water x degrees above ambient. I ONLY use the Rena SmartHeater Aquarium Heater (50W) in ALL of my aquariums... Does the job VERY well and is adjustable :-)
