- In this video I take an in depth look at the new (to the UK) @fluval Siena aquarium sets. Very similar to their Shaker range of aquariums these come with everything you need and the great thing is, it's all great quality Fluval gear.
We set this aquarium up as a pufferfish community aquarium several weeks ago with @MDFishTanks and it has performed amazingly well. It currently houses Barbs, Danios, Glass fish and of course the puffers. The Fluval 407 and Fluval Plant Pro lighting has been brilliant, I can't wait until the fish grow and the plants mature!
Tell me what you think of the new Fluval Siena in the comments!

I think you are a nation treasure. You should be knighted! Sir Matt of ye olde fish shoppe! Brilliant stuff as always. If you ever wonder if its worth the effort to make videos, just remember there are dude around the world like me that look forward to seeing that you dropped a new video. When I see you have I let out a resounding "yes" and pump my fist in the air! Keep on!
Amazing, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I will endeavour to continue making content no matter my tiredness level hahaha
You need to get out more Steven. I like Matt a lot and I am a fan, great videos and helpful information, but even his wife is not as excited as you are to see him. Lol 🤣.
Good of you to do a nicely detailed video even after a long work day - thank you!
Hahahaha thank you! ❤️
@@FishShopMatt Hi Matt - do you have a shop? Where are you based please? I'm in Herefordshire. I might want to buy a Siena aquarium. Thanks Dave
Stunning aquarium, so ultra modern and aesthetically pleasing. Love that fluval gives you a canister filter as part of the tank kit. Do love the concrete version it's just so appealing. Great review Matt 👍
Yeah I'm a big fan of it, they do supply a brilliant kit with it. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Loving your channel Matt! Very knowledgeable! It’s good to have the know how of a fish shop keeper so readily available. Love your dogs too!
Overall I think this aquarium looks good especially in the concrete option. The part I don’t like is the pipe work going through the bottom of the tank, not because I’m worried about it leaking but more because I like to run the input and output at opposite ends of the aquarium. Great video Matt.
Yeah I can appreciate that thought, I'm yet to have a stagnating issue at the opposite end.
I think the filters are slightly more efficient because they don't have to pump up and over, I suppose you could put a small powerhead or airstone at the other end to provide the aquarium with a bit more circulation.
It’s actually better to have them on the same end. The flow goes over the intake and swoops back in touching more of the aquarium than if the intake was on the other side, essentially leaving the side below the outtake with no or low flow.
Great video FS Matt. Can't wait for the Siena in the US. Thanks a ton for the info you give us.
Omg ! Thanks . This is exactly what I’m looking. Outstanding fish tank
Matt great review a lot of the moving parts put nicely together. Thank you from NYC
Thank you! ❤️
This video proved invaluable to me. I've been a fan of your channel so trust your opinions. This package is perfect. Thank you for your review.
Matt well done. Thank you for the review. American viewer here!!
Very nice job on the walk through Matt😉 I always loved the tannins in my tank. Looks beautiful 😍
Thank you, yeah I do like them too normally but sometimes I want crystal clear just depends how I'm feeling hahaha.
Nice review, Matt. Beautiful aquarium and you have such a wealth of knowledge!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I was in the area yesterday and had to drag the wife along to see the scapes that you and MD have done. They look even better in real life, especially the biggun!!
This tank looks awesome and your review is top notch. I love my Fluval Shaker, I was sceptical at first with the drilled pipes but it's actually easier, quieter and more compact. Great designs by fluval!
I just have to keep working on the wife for that 7 foot tank!
Keep up the great vids!
Glad you were able to visit and thank you for the kind comments!
I have to agree with you it does make everything a little easier! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Matt!
That lighting is brilliant. I need that
"oh dear" LOL! I want an outtakes video from you and MD
Very nice tank.
I really like these siennas, Fluval has really put a lot of thought into this tank. I had my heart set on one of these for my new tank but after checking the finances I've had to reevaluate🤣 and had to settle for the Roma 200 instead😏😏 oh well definitely next time I will get one. the Fluval plant 3.0 are great lights I just bought one a couple weeks back upgrading from the fresh and plant 2.0 and that light has been a great light but a few yrs old now.great video mat.
In Canada the 407 comes with the 272L and the fx4 comes with the 332L
Now I want one !
Thanks!
Definitely one of the best looking aquariums I've seen in a while defiantly a competitor to Oase
Yeah I would have to agree with you (thanks for the sack trucks hahaha)
@@FishShopMatt bet they have came handy over the weekend 🤣
Very cool 🐡🐡🐡
Absolutely! ❤️
Love to get my hands on a Fluval setup here in the US soon!
Hopefully soon!❤️
You definitely getting the hang of this Matt!
I wonder if Fluval will ever implement the heater into the filter like Oase do. I'd find it difficult using a filter without a heater now.
Thank you! I certainly feel a little more confident 🤣
I do hope that they will do something with an external heater, I would quite like a heater that is setup a little like their uv so you can just install it inline.
Nice video❤
Thank you! ❤️
Super excited, just gone mine in black this weekend here in Texas! Was not expecting to find one here in America yet, but it is beautiful! Working on scaping and stocking ideas right now!
Oh nice!!! I certainly didn't know they were available over with you, but that is certainly good news! ❤️
I'm in Texas as well, where did you get yours from?
Thanks.
@@TJusticeFishing Polly’s Pet Shop, in San Antonio…. Well technically Universal City.
Spoke to Matt about this tank in December …. Needing to upgrade due to a Pygmy Cory population explosion (from 8 - 130 in a few months). Was very informative then. I’ve been doing more research on various aquariums and have to admit this is still my number one choice.
I would love a review from the Fluval shaker as I’m thinking about getting it due to its dimensions 252l
I watched the setup on MD's channel and really liked the look of it. So I went looking online for one of these. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available on California. Maybe someday. They did seem to show up in the the north-eastern US - New England - however.
Matt... I forsee the Siena doing very well for Fluval ... For anyone not needing larger, It seems very well thought out... Solid dependable products.. Not at the top of the pile for price but not far off in terms of what's on offer quality wise ..
The included kit is impressive at its pricepoint.
Yep I totally agree, for what you get and the price you really can't go far wrong! ❤️❤️❤️
Haha MD Fish tanks friend.. Hello Mat..
Hello! 👋👋👋
Love ya matt
Ahhhhhhh I want !
They are well worth it! ❤️
I have the Roma 240. I think its awesome. I must admit, the thought of the filter pipes coming through the bottom of the tank did scare me, but its brilliant. Once you connect it and fill with water gravity primes it for you. I swapped the light to a fluval plant. Love that too. I do prefer the slide lid on the siena. Looks really sturdy. Especially because I have a cat. I run the 307 filter. Also fantastic so i can assume the 407 is just as good. As always, another great video Matt. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Yeah the Roma 240 is a great aquarium, I had one way before they started drilling the base and it was a good tank even back then! ❤️❤️❤️
I have the 200 and its a great tank.
@@FishShopMattive a roma 240, 200 & 125 there good tanks but im looking to upgrade to one of these due to that extra width. Will make for a deeper feild of view. Not quite aslong but seem better proportioned.
Although I won’t be buying a new tank for a while (I don’t have anymore space lol) I hope once it’s time for a new setup they have these in America. I buy all my tanks and equipment separately so if I bought a full setup I’d want it to be high quality for the price.
Yeah I know that feeling, trying to convert a room to house my new fish room hahaha.
I'm sure they will get them over there soon.
I have to subscribe every time I see your video Matt I don't know why it might be worth telling everyone
Main thing that puts me off this tank, and other "through the bottom" tanks is the position of the filter tubes. If they were on the left side I'd really consider this tank, as the viewing angles in my house would be front and right side. Good info as always though!!
Yeah I can see that now that if you need to put it in a certain corner of a room it may stop you. ❤️❤️❤️
@@FishShopMatt the only tank package I've seen that has the filter on the left is the highline series, but the price increase just to have that feature compared to a "normal" tank doesn't seem worth it
Great video Matt. Your video with MD helped me make the decission so decided to get this set (was torn between this and Oase's 300 but could not come to terms with price).
It arrived last week and as Matt says it is amazing, really happy with quality and finish. Cabinet has a lot of space for all your different gubbins. Personally upgraded filter to FX6 for an extra £50. All stem pipework fits the bigger filter tubbing. Lights are great too and you can control them through the app.
It does feel more 3D🤣
That's amazing news! I'm so glad you like the aquarium.
That's a great shout on using an fx6. ❤️❤️❤️
Where did you get the deal to upgrade to the fx6?
@Shane Got mine from Lincs Aquatics, but other reputable retailers can do the deal too, just need to call them. The upgrade might be slightly more expensive as price of FX6 has since gone up.
@@karasrk83 ok many thanks I will definitely look into it.
Yo matt! i just found your channel through MJ ( The best orthodox aquascaper out there, he don't like the golden scale! :P ). Love your stuff dude, professionel and full of knowledge!
Would you mind doing some monster fish videos also for us that enjoy keeping bigger fish than live food items :P :P
Best of regards from Alex in Denmark!
Great filter. Only issue I have is the grey connection pieces. They really stick out in the tank.
Yeah they are brilliant but I can appreciate the issue with the grey bits.
Great video, very informative ...... you're so relaxed in front of the camera now..... I'd freeze if it were me 😆
Thank you! I'm slowly getting there ❤️❤️❤️
@@FishShopMatt you're doing brilliantly Matt just keep doing what you're doing 👏 👌
Hey Matt loving the content my little guy is 15months old and he's mesmerized when we watch you and MD. I was wondering if pea puffers aside from being cool would be a good way to control snail population?
cool
Hi Matt great video 👌 I’m looking at getting this tank from the St Albans store soon, would I be able to put an oase canister filter on this tank? Cheers
Thanks for including info for us americans!
You're welcome, if there is anything that you can think of that would make it easier for you guys please let me know. ❤️
Great video Matt! I don't usually buy new tanks, but these are very nice indeed. I don't like that Fluval have reduced the length comparatively, but I understand why they have done it.
I really liked the Osaka that they manufactured years ago, but they discontinued it because they (allegedly) couldn't keep up with demand.
Thank you, yeah I get you on the dimensions. I think it may also have something to do with shipping and not using oversized pallets.
The Osaka was an amazing tank, it was really different to anything else on the market at the time. If it was released now with LED lights and a drilled base with external it would be amazing!!!
@@FishShopMatt I've got my eye out for a second hand one, they come up now and again.
I'm pretty handy with electronics, so would probably be able to convert the existing light over to LED myself.
Not sure my nerves could take drilling it for a sump/under cabinet canister though.
@@andreashessler838 yeah well worth keeping an eye out. To be fair if they have the old hanging rail with it you could just use a LED suspension kit to hang whatever lights you wanted above it. Also with the filter you could just go up and over the back, maybe get some nice glass inlet and outlets to make it as swish as the tank.
Looks like Fluval took a good look at Oase's Highline series... 😉
I think they may have had a peak hahaha
Nice video and content, keep it up
Should link your shirt in the description
I will try and work out how to do that! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hi Matt great video as always, what day is the week is best to visit the shop when looking to buying fish as would be travelling up from Torquay?
Hi mate it's Roger we bought this tank mate
Hi i got the same tank ass well. I’m still trying to find out how to get 2 led’s on the app synchronised so that they have the same settings simultanously..
Hi Matt,
We have had them in Canada for a couple of months, well at least from my local Pet Store through custom order.
I just looked on the website and saw they were available in Canada! ❤️
@@FishShopMatt yeah I saw one in person.. slight differences between the Canadian one as we get a Fluval FX4 for the 330L version. However, they really are beautiful tanks. Nice review 😁
Gunna buy ome of these when i move into my new home
Definitely worth it! ❤️
Love this but would be worried having this in an 1 up flat
Overall I like the tank but the pipework limits your placement. It'll always have to be some form of triangular composition coming from the right if you want to hide the tech. Heater should've been in the canister filter as well. In any case, thanks for the great vid Matt. Keep em coming :)
Yeah it is a little limiting, I do hope Fluval get an external heater at some point soon would fill a hole in the range. ❤️❤️❤️
I was considering this tank once it is available in the US as it seems like a really great price for what you get. In terms of the pipework, if you wanted to hide it theoretically couldn't you just hook it up to some generic piping and route it wherever you want in the tank and then hide it with hardscape (instead of using the included hard plastic pipe/spout)
Hello Matt, can I ask what type of glue system did you use on the wood? Can you link it?
Wish fluval would do a 6ft version of these but still going for one of these next year!! Also would you be able to upgrade to a fx2 on these
This model comes with an FX4, my setup did so you would definitely be able to put an FX2 on it
No that's an in depth review!!!
There was just too much to talk about! ❤️
I'm not even in the market for anything like this but I watched anyway because it's#fishshopmatt, and so worth watching.
It's a beautiful looking set, but I can understand why they don't have clear silicone. Also not sure if it's an option but it would be great if they offered the tanks with the in/outlet on the left hand side.
Do you have a way to stop the siphon during power outage? I heard some filter cannister leaked and emptied the hole tank.
Thank you
is it possible to have the downpipe as an overflow i.e. taking water off the top?
Hey Matt great review! I was thinking of upgrading my betta in this tank. Might be overkill but what do you think about this tank for a betta? Is it too deep
The one with the tattoo on my head lol
Love the video. Why don't you put a PURIGEN seachem sachet in the external filter 100g will do 400 litres. Honestly that water will be crystal clear in no time. It gives the aquarium a high def look . I've always used this in my aquariums ,it makes a big difference.
I use purigen at home but am currently waiting for more to turn up at the shop ☹️ hopefully won't be long ❤️
Hey Matt! How much does the box weigh? Trying to figure if I can have it dropped at my flat which is 2nd floor.
T-shirt without the beard Matt lol!
No way!!!!! Hahaha ❤️
😂Just wouldn't be Matt then!
Select retailers in the US now have them.
Thanks for the video Matt, can you please do inches and gallons for us here in America 🇺🇸?
I will endeavour to learn the conversions if not I'll make sure I google it and add it. ❤️❤️❤️
I got a great video idea, or that's at least what I think. What if Matt reviewed our fishtanks? His community is not that big at the moment, so it should be possible. ANd maybe he can make a discord server for his subscribers to submit their tanks in. I don't know if this is possible, but it's just a sugestion. He could make a whole series out of this.
Oooo I like it, I'll have a look into how it would work.
As someone has already mentioned, the intake n outtake should be at opposite ends of the tank.
Fluval is a good company. Hard to think they are still using the same names and numbers but looks a bit different. My friend is still using the 407 I bought in 1990 as a pass through bioball canister. Not powered. He is also using my Marineland Magnum hang on back that is a bit older (Still Working). I used that when I was renting tanks as a DE polisher. Have to get clear water fast when people are paying for the looks. I have had a few newer products from both companies but I think they are a bit more after sale thinking now. Fluval less so then Mainland. There are a few other companies out there that are starting to step up but I still use Aquaclear just with a internal pump instead of their pump. No issues with restarts and a prefilter. Slightly less LPH but hey I can run the full size one and not send the fish into a whirlpool.
Yeah it's mad to think that! ❤️❤️❤️
The 407 isnt that old lol more likely a 406
Does anybody know, Can the silver trim be removed from the glass?
Is possible to instal Oase biomaster 850 to this setup? i thinking to buy just i prefer Oase filter
wheres the best place to put a heater? near the filter, or t'other ide of the tank?
Hey Matt, do you know why we dont have the Fluval 160 in the UK and Ireland? It's a lovely cube with a through floor filter. Hoping you might know 👍
Hi Matt
Hey James! 👋👋👋
I'm looking at purchasing the siena 330 but my question if you can help is does the fx6 canister fit in the area where the 407 is located?
Keep up the good work with the videos I find them very helpful.
It's without a problem at all
Hi Matt where do u position the light at the rear of of the tank for the up light effect ? I have two fluval lights on my tank and light the idea of this. Thanks
We made a small bracket behind the aquarium and used a spare light unit that just sat in place, wouldn't need to be anything special maybe just some cheap LEDs and have a play.
Anyone offer any advice?. This tank or the oase highline 300.. thanks,
I wonder when they are going to start selling these on Pitcairn Island?
Does it support wires/tubes coming in elsewhere other than the one corner on the right? I'm thinking about how you would add a CO2 tube and/or a wire for a skimmer.
Yeah it does, the other end has space for cables or thin tubing to come out of.
Inline CO2 diffuser can be used (not sure why those are not very popular, must have for canister filters imo)
Tubings are riibbed and needs a little upgrade to fit inline co2. Plus when you change the OM parts there will be increase chance of leaking. Some might be lucky not to have a leak, some might not.
Would a oase biomaster 600 fit under there?
Hi Matt, I’ve just bought this tank, and very nice it is too. Before I fill it up with water, are the nuts done up finger right, or do I have to get a spanner out?
How much did u pay for it?
@@TheMexicaNigga I think I paid £1100
I'm in the USA and not gotten this tank yet I hope soon!!!!!!
Someone from Texas has said they have just received theirs so hopefully soon! ❤️❤️❤️
@@FishShopMatt I hope soon I need a new tank!!!! how do I get a shirt?
Mine just arrived today here in california. 88 gallon with fx4.
Now Matt when you say an Allen Key for leveling, was he at the Shop? Allen? :) :) :)
No he wasn't the lazy swine! 🤣🤣🤣
@@FishShopMatt :) :) :)
Flo was though!
@@barbaravivier5706 I didn't see Annett though! :)
Great video. Just a question where is your store located?
Just outside Wellington in Somerset TA21 9HY
I wanted to know is it difficult setting up a sump on this aquarium? I have a FX4 that came with the setup here in Indianapolis Indiana I was thinking about going with a sump
Hi Matt hope you're well, just a quick one about the Fluval 272L please. It says it comes with x2 36w Plant 3.0 LEDs but there isn't a 36w so will it be x2 32w ones? Also if I pay the extra could I have the 407 filter instead of the 307?
Cheers Matt
Ian
Mine came with an FX4, which I think all of the 90 gal come with
Matt any possibility we could get a Fish Files for Discus and what we would all need to know about the water quality for them to thrive
Definitely coming soon, hopefully hahaha
@@FishShopMatt Awesome. I think it would be cool especially since you and MD have had great success with the black water tank
Hi, is there enough space in the cabinet for fluval fx4? 40cm+?
Yes. Mine came with fx4. Still have space for 5lb co2. I think even 10lb will fit.
I enjoy watching your videos except I don't have the funds to even try doing everything you can do. But I get ideas and improvise the best I can.
Wait... do u have 13 k subscribers!!!!!! Woah!
Hey Matt. I have been reading several fishkeeping forums and comments on CZcams and there's a few on there saying that the 407 filter thats included in this is not enough to run on a 332L (73 gallon) aquarium. Was looking at buying one but just worried the filter will be inadequate for it and if i should upgrade to something like the fx6? What do you think. Thank you
Will Maidenhead Aquatics stock it online?
Possibly at a later date but they are only available to the premium dealers at the moment.
Don't see them in US yet. Too bad they dont have the heater in the canister.
The only thing you didn’t mention Matt was the price tag?
Ah it’s chip 🍟 shop MATT lol just kidding ;-) steve tivvy
Now you've made me want takeaway! Thanks Steve 😁❤️
How we all doing?
Doing really well, how about yourself?
@@FishShopMatt Could be better, but at least my tanks are doing really good, got some cory eggs randomly a good week ago. They got to the stage of that they were hatching but then they all died. But Now I know next time to make sure they got more clean water. But the whole experience was great.
