Glass Lily Pipe Set — Inflow & Outflow

Details

A matched pair of borosilicate glass pipes that replace the black plastic intake and spraybar most filters ship with. The outflow returns water in a rolling surface curve; the slotted inflow draws evenly without pinning fish against it.

  • The reason aquascapers switch. Glass disappears against the background. Plastic intakes are the single most visible piece of hardware in an otherwise clean tank.
  • Surface agitation without a ripple tank. The outflow curve breaks the surface film and helps gas exchange, which matters more once you are injecting CO2.
  • Slotted intake. Wide slots pass debris to the filter instead of clogging, and keep shrimp and fry out of the impeller.
  • Borosilicate, not soda-lime. Thicker walls and better thermal tolerance. Still glass — see the FAQ on cleaning.

Questions about this light

Frequently asked questions

How do I clean the inside?+

A flexible pipe brush, or soak in a dilute bleach solution then rinse and dechlorinate thoroughly. Do not run wire down it — scratched glass is where the next crack starts.

Will it fit my filter?+

Match the tubing bore, not the filter brand. 12/16 mm suits most small canisters, 16/22 mm the larger ones. Measure your existing hose if unsure.

Is glass a risk?+

Honestly, yes — it is the trade for the look. The common failure is over-tightening a hose onto the pipe or knocking it against the rim during a water change, not spontaneous breakage.
