Lily pipes

Description

Lily pipes are the glass inflow and outflow pipes that connect a canister filter's hoses to the tank. The outflow's seller describes the shape: the image of a lily flower makes an elegant curve line in your aquarium. No reference work in this catalog covers them, so this page rests on the most-rated inflow and the most-rated outflow in our search. The outflow is the return side. Its listing says it is made to deliver clean water from the filter with appropriate water flow speed, and that its 17mm outer diameter fits the canister filter tubing of 5/8 inch ID (16/22mm), compatible with Eheim, Tetra and other filters. It comes with two suction cups. The inflow is the intake side, and the most-rated one adds a surface skimmer. The seller says the surface skimmer removes surface scum effectively, and that a 360-degree inflow design allows water flows to get through from all directions without clogging. It also claims the pipe will almost never suck air into the filter canister. It fits the same 5/8 inch (16/22mm) tubing and comes with two strong suction cups. Glass is what these pipes are sold on, and it is also the part that can break. The inflow listing says glass transparency gives a superb appearance to your aquarium, and that the bends and cuts of the pipe have been reinforced, making them less likely to break. That is the seller's claim, not a rating. Both listings are sold by tubing size, so the size to buy is the one that matches the filter's hoses. Neither listing gives a flow rate or a cleaning interval, and this page gives neither.
