Frequently Asked Questions
These lily pipe inlets are made from glass. Glass lily pipes are popular in high-end planted aquariums and aquascapes because they are visually minimal and transparent, blending into the background unlike opaque plastic pipes that draw the eye away from the tank's aquatic design.
The lily pipe inlet comes in two sizes: 13mm and 17mm. Match the size to your external filter's inlet port — using the wrong size will result in either a loose connection that leaks or an impossibly tight fit that can crack the glass pipe during installation.
A lily pipe inlet draws aquarium water into the external filter for processing. The unique flared bell shape at the water end slows the intake velocity, which prevents strong suction currents near the inlet that could trap or harm small fish, shrimp, and bottom-dwelling creatures.
Glass lily pipes are more aesthetically refined and do not discolor or cloud over time as plastic pipes can. They are more fragile and will break if dropped or subjected to sharp impacts during maintenance. For aquascapes and display tanks where visual cleanliness matters, glass pipes are the preferred choice.
Yes, aquarium-grade glass is completely inert and does not affect water chemistry. The flared bell design of the lily pipe inlet reduces suction velocity significantly compared to straight-cut pipe ends, making it one of the safer inlet designs for aquariums housing small or fragile inhabitants.
Use a soft flexible brush designed for lily pipe cleaning — these are sold specifically for this purpose and are thin enough to navigate the glass curves. Soak the pipe in a white vinegar solution to dissolve algae and mineral deposits before brushing. Handle over a soft surface and avoid metal tools that can chip the glass.
