Pipe size on the oase thermo 600 looks to be 16/22 mm (internal/external). I haven't seen the shaker range but the old fluval tanks came with filter hosing that had rubber end parts which push over the pipes. These hoses appear to be 14.5mm in diameter which might mean the oase is to loose because it's better to stretch the piping over the bulkhead for grip. You could try a piece of 16/22mm pipe on there first to see how it feels before ordering the new filter.
