My FAVOURITE, LARGE aquarium kit? the FLUVAL Shaker.

After using the @fluval Shaker for a few weeks now I believe that this is one of the best 'please everyone' fish tanks on the market at the moment. Yes, there will always be different tastes and style preferences but after working in the aquarium trade for so long this ticks most of the boxes that our customers generally look for.

Alongside its slightly upgraded counterpart the Fluval Sienna these aquariums come with everything you need: 07 range external filtration, Aquasky LED lighting and a great quality build. As I say in the video, this isn't a sponsored video I just believe that this is a decent aquarium and I can see a lot of people succeeding in the hobby with it. Ultimately, that's what we're here for, people doing great things with fish tanks and growing this awesome hobby.

Let me know in the comments what your favourites aquariums are maybe I'll take your advice and swap out one of my tanks for a new one.

Wish fishkeeping was as big of deal here in the United States as it is in Europe...

I have the 252 in grey & if you flip over the top surround & turn the rubber supports the other way around to lodge, it makes the top surround level all the around on top level & leaves a slight gap at the bottom of the surround at the back, for tubs/electric wires coming from the tank on left & right corners to fit underneath with no pressure.
I have my canister in a clear square tub filling the whole area for precaution reasons but i like how you have that light fitted on top to show the canister 👍

That is the coolest wood piece. I love the one branch sticking out. I love it so much. Best by far in my book😀

Great review Matt, thank you. I learned a lot about the aquarium and I really trust your opinions.

I'm moving from Mexico to the UK, and one of the most difficult things about it (besides leaving my family) is having to let go of my 5 tanks, especially my 88 gal. one. Thank you for your video. I'm now looking forward to getting one of these once I'm settled in London.

Looking forward for this vid. It’ll be great to see the axolotls are doing.

I wish in the us we had more access to all in one aquarium tanks! Like those super fish ones and the fluvals but obviously it’s tough.

Another great video Matt thanks. Hey I have a new one for you to pull on MD -
RockSand, you don’t have to put on the red light (geddit?)

[robertphillips]

Hi matt do you think you could run an fx filter on the shaker 252 ?
Maybe an fx4 ?

Dating myself: I had Fluval filters back in the mid/late 80's and I had years of other filters before that. I'm currently out of the hobby but thinking about going back. I would go with Fluval 100%!

I am so excited. Thank you for the heads up.

Just picked up the 252 from the Maidenhead Aquatics at Trowel. It looks great! It’s huge for the price and like you say, it’s got everything you need. If you’re looking for video ideas to add to your list, I’d love a more in-depth video about lighting settings and how to customise them for best effect. More of a how and why than a “here are my settings” which is what most people seem to do.

If I had the room/money I would definitely love to own of these, top vid as always 🤪✌️💜

[norbertthoens]

Gutes "Werbevideo" für die Fa. Fluval! 😂Nichtsdestotrotz ein schön gestaltetes Aquarium! 😃

[darrenderousse]

Fluval makes a banging kit! I think the fluval flex 9 gallon is the best bang for your buck all in one starting kit! Can’t beat $89 for everything but a heater! And you can put it on top of almost anything!

[pistonbroke]

Looking forward to this. Will be getting for a mixed rainbow tank after Christmas

[Chinco_NL]

Wow, that must have been a sight: an aquarium running in the house!

[doomedtroll]

Matt your killing it on youtube! Keep it up!

[CraftyChimp.]

I have had the fluval shaker for a few years now and love it. Have not changed anything on it and it is super reliable.

[sancraft]

That tank is gorgeous. I have a 125 to set up once we move. I'm going to do it like that one. I have your vids and MD's. It helps with my addiction having you both.
