If the cabinet is against a wall covering the wall sockets, is the back of the cabinet solid or is the wall accessible through the cupboards. Also, if the filter is water fed from the bottom of the tank how do you isolate / clean filter
Hi Tony! Great question - yes, the rear of the Shaker cabinet is open, allowing sockets on the wall to be accessed. In order to perform filter maintenance, you can simply close the AquaStop valve, unplug the filter, and disconnect it from the system! 👌
Great set ups. I just got the 44gal Shaker ( almost 2 months ago ) and I am planning on picking up the 66gal Shaker this week The 66 will be my Mbuna cichlid tank and the 44 gal is now my community tank. Thanks for making such a great product.

Is there a feeding window or do you have to take the canopy off to feed? Wished the heater was designed in the canister, such a beautiful setup, let’s hide the heater! Also wish it came with the Plant 3.0 light. I have a Spec V and a Flex 15…love your tanks!
Would these tanks be good for Aquatic turtles? Would I be able to fit a basking Dock and basking bulb? Or would the led light be basking? And do I always have to buy fluval lighting for the tank or can it be changed for a different brand? Thank you.
Hi there! Shaker aquariums are not intended for use with turtles, as there's nowhere to install a basking light or UVB bulb. We recommend the use of Fluval LEDs with the tank, but other lights can certainly be used if they fit within the canopy.
I have just seen the 2 shaker aquariums at my local fish store. They look amazing. I currently have a Fluval flex 32.5 and 15 gallon aquariums and I am very satisfied with your products. My concern is possible leaking around the bulk heads at the bottom of the shaker tank. I watched your videos on the canister filter where you recommended to change the o rings once a year. Are there concerns with leaking around the shaker tank. Also was surprised that my local Pet Center in Old Bridge NJ was not listed as a Fluval retailer. I purchased all my aquariums and other Fluval products there. His store allowed me to see and touch your products before purchasing them. Could you give the Pet Center attention? Keep up the great videos coming and can you provide a video how to disengage and clean the canister filter on the shaker aquariums?
Hi Joseph! You don't need to worry about leaks developing around the through-tank connection system - we've used this system for over ten years in our aquariums, and there haven't been any problems! With regards to cleaning the filter on Shaker aquariums, you can consult this video - it's simply a matter of closing the AquaStop valve and disconnecting it from the filter! ua-cam.com/video/65qydS8mSBA/v-deo.html
I really like what the shaker aquarium's offer. Even looking them up through your website the place's don't show any shakers. I'd really like too get one of each. I like your substrate and want to use the other one also.

What light comes with this? I have Aquasky 2.0 LED on all my tanks now. This video makes it sound like I would have to buy an additional light to get the same light? For the price of the set at my LFS - it should come with a light that doesn't have to be upgraded - unless it's to Plant or Reef, for specialized lighting..
The 168ltr comes with the Fluval 16.5W Bluetooth LED Light. The 252ltr comes with the Fluval 24W Bluetooth LED Light. I think these are similar to, but not the same as, the Aquasky 2.0
The lighting included with Shaker aquariums are very similar to Aquasky 2.0 Bluetooth LEDs! They have all the same features and utilize the FluvalSmart app like the LEDs you already have.
@@fluval Thank you both. Turns out the set at my LFS was shattered, so I couldn't get it at the time. And now... I'm back to just liking my 32 Flex. Just wish I did' have to take the cover off to clean the dang thing. Otherwise, it'd be perfect.
Beautiful set up! I bought a Chi aquarium for my Betta fish, love it, but the light will not turn off. How can I get a new light? It is less than 6 months old, bought it from Petsmart.
Hi Cathy, we are sorry to hear that you are having some trouble with your CHI light. Please reach out to our customer service team who will be glad to assist you! 😊👇 fluvalaquatics.com/us/contact-us/
Hey! Has anyone with a Fluval Shaker ever disconnected the intake/ output nozzle/ stem to clean it? I have had it for 6 months and feel like I should but didn’t want to break it in the process by accident! Thanks!
Hi Robert! If you watch the video linked below (skip to about 4:30), you'll see how the intake and output assemblies are connected. This should help you understand how you can take them apart to clean them! ua-cam.com/video/lfNSbFgTzjE/v-deo.html
Hi Kelly, we are not currently developing a larger Shaker tank. Any updates regarding new product development will be posted directly to our social media pages! 😊
I really like these and the aquarium size is ideal , but the cabinet for me would be better just two bigger cupboards to store water buckets etc more. Are Fluval planning on doing the same size but with doors only not the shelves. I do think it’s a good complete unit
Hi Wayne, thanks for your comment! We've used the Easy-Connect filter system on our tanks for decades, dating back to the old Studio and Profile models - you have nothing to be terrified of! 😎
Hi Niklas! We prefer for filter space to be devoted entirely to what it's supposed to be used for - filtration! Engineering a heater into a filter wastes valuable space that could otherwise be used to keep your aquarium water clear and healthy for the fish.
I beg of you dump the "through the tank filtration" it restricts you to barley adequate 406/07 when most want the fx filters now i believe you do an attachment for this but cant get it anywhere meaning the 3 tanks i have needed to be retrofitted with cutting lids
Thank you for making this video. I love the new "Shaker Collection".
Phenomenal tanks. So beautiful
Stunning I need one
Slick design!
I am going to defiantly look into getting one of these for my fish room. Thank You for breaking down everything in detail and what comes with it.
Thank you for your presentation. I would like to know how to connect the oxygen pump, it's included and integrated in aquarium ? Thank you.
Hi there! An air pump is not included (or needed) - the canister filter is responsible for both cleaning and oxygenating the water!
Nice tanks they look great I just got My 32.5 gallon flex tank A few months ago and I enjoy it very Easy to maintain
Great to hear! 😊
Haaaaa… just purchased the
Mega flex 32.5 - AND NOW they release this ;)
Looks awesome

Cool I love their products 😍
What are the tank and cabinet measurements? When available is USA?
Can this be set up with the fluval uv inline attached the cannister filter please? Thanks.
Absolutely! 💯

Awesome! The Shaker 66 is a great choice for an Mbuna tank, it'll look fantastic! 👌
@@fluval yes I agree. Thank you !
For the fluval 252 shaker they only give you x4 wire sliding guides I need more.. where can you buy the spares as cannot find any anywhere
Hi there! That item is unfortunately not available as a spare part.
I so wish Fluval would bring the Shaker series to the US. Love my Flex 123 and would love to add the Shaker series.

Hi Sidney, you can simply slide the cover aside to feed your fish, and slide it back into place once you're done!

Is there a side to put the cover there's a mat side and a more shiny side?
Great question! We prefer to put the shiny side down and the matte side up, but either way works!

Great looking aquarium is it coming to the United States?
One more question about the pump, is it loud ?
The canister filter, when positioned inside the cabinet, is effectively soundless! 👍
Where can you buy extra wire sliding guides for over rim
Wow très beau
Merci, Jean-Francois! 😊
Hi it's a shame that you can't buy this with upgraded options , like fluval 3.0 plant lights and the 407 filter as a upgrade package,
Will the Fluval surface skimmer for the 7 series fit?
Hi Jay, yes it will!
When will this be available in the United States?
I really like what the shaker aquarium's offer. Even looking them up through your website the place's don't show any shakers. I'd really like too get one of each. I like your substrate and want to use the other one also.

Hi, Could anybody tell me the size of the shelves in the middle of the 252l cabinet. Thanks.
Hi Zac! The shelves are 13.5" wide and 14" deep.
Great product
What is the species in the large slate grey version please?
Hi Ben! Those are Astyanax, a really fun group of tetras. These ones in particular are from Colombia!
Beautiful set up! I bought a Chi aquarium for my Betta fish, love it, but the light will not turn off. How can I get a new light? It is less than 6 months old, bought it from Petsmart.

I recently heard that there was going to be another shaker out soon that was bigger again. Can you confirm is this is true please? Thank you
Hi Kelly, we are not currently developing a larger Shaker tank. Any updates regarding new product development will be posted directly to our social media pages! 😊
Would a FX6 fit in a Shaker 345L cabinet?
Hi there! Yes, but not very well due to its height. The FX2 or FX4 are better choices!
I really like these and the aquarium size is ideal , but the cabinet for me would be better just two bigger cupboards to store water buckets etc more. Are Fluval planning on doing the same size but with doors only not the shelves. I do think it’s a good complete unit
You guys should really focus on making units for public displays. Offices and stuff.
Thanks for your suggestion! 😊
I bought the Fluval Flex 32 gallon 2 years ago, now I want the Shaker 44 gallon lol!
Why don’t I see a cabinet that’s made for your 32.5 gallon Flex Aquarium Kit?
Here it is! 😎

I really like the size of this tank in the 345 litre. The dimensions are perfect but those through the bottom filter connections would terrify me.
Hi Wayne, thanks for your comment! We've used the Easy-Connect filter system on our tanks for decades, dating back to the old Studio and Profile models - you have nothing to be terrified of! 😎
why not build the heater in the filter????????? why fluval
Hi Niklas! We prefer for filter space to be devoted entirely to what it's supposed to be used for - filtration! Engineering a heater into a filter wastes valuable space that could otherwise be used to keep your aquarium water clear and healthy for the fish.
Seems like odd sizes to pick?
Please, please, please release the Grey Oak finish in the Uk… looks so much more sleek than the Grey Slate which looks cheap in my opinion.
Thanks for your comment, Ross - we'll forward this along!
66 gallons is a nice size aquarium. Will look into the dimensions.
I can't this down here in Florida.
Its a lovely set up! I have the 66g. The damn door hinges are a b*tch to set up!
The rest is awesome

His hand movements are very artificial, did you get a college degree for that. What a mess!
