  • The ‪@fluval‬ 44 gallon Shaker kit has a lot of amazing features I love to see in an aquarium kit. Some folks want a nice aquarium setup but would rather get it all at once with parts that are designed to work together. This kit has it all! Drilled out tank, canister filter with specialized connections, custom stand that accommodates the drilled tank and canister, topper, lid, and a #Aquasky Bluetooth light.

    Very cool setup, but I absolutely hate that fluval strainer. It's something fluval needs to modify the design to make it less sharp, smaller, or they need to make a pre filter for it.

    Cool setup. if we can even get them here in Canada, guessing they are going to be crazy expensive. Though when you consider it comes with the tank, stand, top and the canister filter it would be worth it. Thanks for taking the time with the canister setup. Super helpful. Something I've not used yet. Have never had a tank large enough to really need one. Over all impressive setup. look forward to seeing it scaped and setup
    edit: For those of you wondering, checked LFS, the 45g runs $1200, the 66g $1600 here in Canada. A lot, as are most of the fluval tanks, but when you consider the cost of stands, the canister etc, not that bad. Still. I'm going to have to sell an awful lot of babies to get one of those lol

    You could easily put a bucket under those filter hose and then drain for a water change. Would also have no problems priming the filter as the pipes will automatically fill the filter.

    Hi, I have the shaker 66 gallon and love it. I wish I could post pics here but I made two modifications to mine that I think could benefit you before you fill it. If you add inline CO2 you will need to add ball valves before the canister filter so you can service the ceramic diffuser. I went to Lowe’s and bought two ball valves and plumbed them in with flex tubing. This allows you to shut the water off and then clean out the inline diffuser. Also gives you a fail safe in case the fluval connection to the filter gives way and dumps water all over your house.
    Also of you take the back board of the decorative top and screw it in flat instead of vertically, it will allow you to take the decorative top on and off much easier without fighting the cords that you have to loop up and over the top otherwise. Let me know if you have any other questions and I’d be happy to send you pictures of my set up

    • @pecktec
      @pecktec  3 місяці тому

      I was considering that (or cutting a little notch) myself for the top. Honestly though I don’t feel like taking it apart right now. All that other stuff sounds cool to I’m going to look at that. I was looking to do an inline diffuser for that co2.

    Been waiting for this project to start Sean.. I’m a heavy user of Fluval myself, my tank is a 200gal custom so naturally it’s not Fluval made so other than that the heaters both titanium so not Fluval the wifi Thermostat not Fluval and my UV steriliser not as Fluval only make UVC clarifier. However the lights and filtration all Fluval made and it’s my pride and joy that helps relieve the stresses of working life, I’m writing this before you even start knowing the livestock of your other tanks and what you’ve kept in the past it’s going to be interesting what you choose…

      On the Fluval website you can find a stores that carry their products. The mileage may vary on the price depending on availability but I’ve seen it online for 500 for the tank part on its own and around 900+ with the cabinets.

All your videos you take it out and the first thing you throw away without having a second glimpse. I mean all this time you never read or promoted your videos to make sure you read the instructions first, so why start now? I mean we talking about an empty tank with a hood and all necessary equipment that we all know how to use and where it is going. OK, just teasing but as soon as you said it I bust out laughing.

    Hate the dimensions of this tank, the 66 gal version is much better. For the price, there are several issues. The heater is subpar, should have a thermostat and a temp probe, or better yet an inline external heater. The lighting included should have the fluval plant and the canister filter should have been at least an FX2. Lastly, include a Fluval Sea CP4. Only then would this be worth the $1500-1800 price tag (for the 66g with shipping).
