Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Glass Lily Pipe and how does it work in an aquarium?
A: A glass lily pipe is a decorative outflow fitting that connects to your external canister filter's outlet tubing. Water exits through the lily-shaped glass cup near the water surface, creating gentle circulation that promotes oxygenation and even water distribution throughout the tank — all while looking beautiful in a planted or aquascape setup.
Q: Which filter tubing sizes are compatible with this glass lily pipe?
A: This lily pipe is available in multiple pipe outer diameters — 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 16mm — making it compatible with most standard external canister filter outlet hoses. Please measure your existing tubing before selecting a size to ensure a proper fit.
Q: Why is borosilicate glass used for aquarium lily pipes?
A: Borosilicate glass is favored for aquarium use because it is highly resistant to thermal shock, remains crystal clear over time, does not leach chemicals into the water, and provides a premium, minimalist aesthetic that complements planted tanks and aquascape designs far better than plastic alternatives.
Q: Is this lily pipe suitable for both freshwater and planted aquariums?
A: Yes! This outflow glass lily pipe is ideal for freshwater community tanks, planted aquascapes, and landscape-style aquarium setups. Its adjustable positioning allows you to direct water flow precisely where your aquatic plants and fish need it most.
