Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What tube sizes does this glass lily pipe fit?
A: This aquarium glass lily pipe is compatible with standard filter hose sizes of 10mm (approx. 0.39"), 13mm (approx. 0.51"), and 17mm (approx. 0.67") — making it suitable for a wide range of canister and external aquarium filters.
Q: How does the glass lily pipe remove surface oil film from my aquarium?
A: The inflow lily pipe is designed to sit right at the water's surface, drawing in the top layer of water where oils, dust, and organic waste tend to accumulate. By skimming the surface continuously, it keeps your aquarium water crystal clear and promotes better gas exchange for your fish and plants.
Q: Is this glass lily pipe easy to clean?
A: Yes! The smooth glass construction resists algae and residue far better than plastic alternatives. You can clean it easily with a pipe brush or by soaking it in a mild vinegar solution to dissolve any calcium deposits or algae buildup.
Q: Will the inflow pipe harm my fish or shrimp?
A: The adjustable bottom inflow is specifically designed to let you control the intake depth and flow rate, minimizing the risk of small fish, shrimp, or fry being accidentally drawn in. Always set the flow rate appropriately for the inhabitants of your tank.
