  • FLUVAL SHAKER after 6 MONTHS Review | Is it GOOD? Does it LAST? Can it run as a Saltwater Aquarium?
    In this video we take a look at my Fluval Shaker aquarium and see how it has held up after 6 months of running a saltwater system. I feel it has had A typical problems and thus far has stood upto thme really well. There are a few niggles with it, however most aquariums have these sorts of things. Overall i am really enjoying the Fluval Shaker aquarium and think it's GREAT!

    Proper good review this, especially when it comes to the feet after an accidental flood, great info! 👌

    Thanks for posting the update, found it really informative and just what I was looking for. I am considering getting the 168 version as I don’t have room for anything bigger 😞I also have a Oase biomaster thermo 350 and was wondering if I could use it on the tank instead of the flu all that comes with it ? Many thanks in advance and keep up the great work 👍🏻

    You can run the cables inside the pelmet. It's designed to have just enough space. Must be really annoying if you have to remove them each time you take it off.

    Good review mate. Can you not adjust those hinges so the door on the left shuts again?

      Thanks! 😊 yeah probably I'll have a closer look. I'm not sure if it's catching or just the soft close won't fully close

    Great update. Mine is 10 months in :) and have the 407 with UV and 3.0 light. I also put a DD auto too off too.
    How many fish have you got in this tank? I currently have 5 chromis, 2 clowns, fire fish, yellow watchman and 2 antheas :) how many more could I get away with. I do a 50 litre water change every week so think I could over stock a bit lol

    • @EverydayAquarist
      @EverydayAquarist  2 роки тому

      Thanks, nice upgrades. 2 x chromis, 2 x Anthias, 2 x black clownfish, 2 x bangaii cardinal, 1 x mandarin, 1 x Tomini tang, 1 x Lamark angel, 1 x silver belly wrasse, 1 x midas blenny.
      Too many fish but it's connected to another 600L of water and more filtration so it works ok

    Wish it would have come with a Fluval 407 canister instead of a 307. I run a 307 on my 30 gallon. Would recommend additional filtration for a 66 gallon.

    Just for reference you can actually fit an FX filter inside the cabinet. I have an FX6 inside mine you just have to turn it a bit and saw off the smaller sections of the hose tails to not restrict flow Fluval told me to saw them via email.

    I finally added Macros to my tank!
    It's a bunch of Caulerpa Serrulata.
    Though I already have a problem after only 6 days I already have a problem.
    The tip of all the algaes turn white.
    Only the tips and with white I mean litteraly white, not a single puce becomes transparent like when they go sexual, it's more like a plastic toy losing color.
    Also this problem auto fixes at noon, I don't know why, but around noon all of the algaes (except for the bigger bush) return like normal and then at dawn they turn pale again.
    Also the white part doesn't grow day by day, even for the big one that is always white.
    Sooooo, what's happening?
    What do I have to do?

    • @EverydayAquarist
      @EverydayAquarist  2 роки тому

      I have seen caulerpa goes white during low light periods so maybe do your lights ramp up and down and it's adjusting to the light levels

    I have the 44gal shaker now. I am thinking about getting the 66gal Shaker as well. Do you think it would be a good Cichlid tank? or should I consider going bigger..like a 75 gal tank ? Thanks

    • @EverydayAquarist
      @EverydayAquarist  2 роки тому +1

      I would upgrade the filter but you could keep cichlids

      Did you cut the smaller section of the hose tails off? Fluval told me to do this to stop flow being restricted.

    I added a fluval marine 3.0 into my aquarium and just noticed it has condensation buildup in the unit. It supposed to be ip67 rated. How is your light unit working? Do you think this is happening because the light unit under the hood/flaps and not outside like other aquariums. Thanks
