FAQs

Can I use this aquarium for saltwater setups?

Yes, however, ensure all components are properly maintained to prevent salt corrosion, and consider if the included filtration media is appropriate for your specific marine needs.

Is the cabinet pre-assembled?

No, the cabinet comes as a flat-pack kit and requires assembly. Follow the included instructions carefully to ensure the structure is safe for the 345L weight.

How often should I clean the filter?

Perform light maintenance on the mechanical media every month, and clean the biological media every 3 to 6 months depending on your bioload.

What is the total weight of the aquarium when full?

Given the 345L capacity plus the glass weight, the setup will exceed 400kg. Ensure your floor is rated for this weight.

Can I add more lights to the app?

Yes, the Fluval SmartApp supports multiple devices, allowing you to sync and manage multiple Fluval Bluetooth-enabled lights simultaneously.

Troubleshooting

SmartApp not connecting to lights

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the Fluval SmartApp permissions are allowed. Power cycle the light fixture by unplugging it for 30 seconds.

Filter producing noise

Ensure there is no trapped air in the canister. Tilt the filter gently while it is running to help air bubbles escape through the return line.

Water temperature fluctuating

Verify the heater is fully submerged and positioned in an area with high water flow. Ensure the heater setting has not been accidentally adjusted in the app or on the dial.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Professional-grade 07 Series filtration included
  • Modern, high-end Shaker aesthetic in Slate Grey
  • SmartApp control for lighting and weather effects
  • Cable tidy system and hidden plumbing for a sleek look
  • Sturdy matching cabinet with ample storage

Cons

  • Large footprint requires significant floor space
  • Requires assembly of the cabinet unit
  • Advanced features may be overkill for absolute beginners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup begins with the assembly of the Shaker cabinet, which must be placed on a level, weight-bearing floor. Once the tank is positioned, route the filter hoses through the base of the aquarium before filling the tank with water. Always use a high-quality water conditioner to neutralize chlorine before adding livestock.

For maintenance, wipe the Slate Grey cabinet with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent scratching. The sliding covers should be cleaned periodically to prevent salt creep or water spots that could impede light transmission. The 07 series filter media should be rinsed in tank water—never tap water—during monthly maintenance to preserve beneficial bacteria colonies.
