Glass Lily Pipes for Planted Aquariums, Dymax Crystal Lily Pipe Set, 16/22mm Dia.

The Dymax Crystal Lily Pipe Set is a glass inflow and outflow pipe kit designed for use with external canister filters. Made from handcrafted crystal quartz glass, each pipe delivers a nearly invisible profile in the tank. The outflow pipe cascades water gently across the surface, improving circulation and aeration without disrupting your aquascape. The inflow pipe draws water back to the filter in the same quiet, low-profile way.

Unlike plastic tubing, quartz glass resists scratching and yellowing over time. The 16/22mm size accommodates standard canister filter hoses, ensuring compatibility with most freshwater and planted tank filters. Each piece is handmade, with individual inspection for clarity and shape.

Key Features:

  • Made from crystal quartz glass that is scratch-resistant and maintains clarity over time
  • Outflow pipe gently cascades filtered water across the surface to improve circulation and reduce CO2 loss
  • Inflow pipe draws tank water back to the filter with minimal visual disruption
  • Nearly invisible in the aquarium; keeps attention on the aquascape, not the equipment
  • Prevents surface oil film buildup by maintaining consistent water movement at the surface
  • Handcrafted construction with quality control selection for clarity and form

Ideal For:

  • Planted tank hobbyists running external canister filters who want to hide equipment and highlight the aquascape
  • CO2-injected planted aquariums where minimizing surface agitation is important for gas retention
  • Aquascapers building a clean, minimalist aesthetic with no visible plastic tubing
  • Hobbyists upgrading from plastic or rubber lily pipes who want a longer-lasting, clearer alternative
  • Tanks where surface oil film is a recurring issue caused by insufficient surface movement

Pro Tips:

  • Check your canister filter hose size before ordering. The 16/22mm fits 16mm inner and 22mm outer. When in doubt, measure your existing hose or check your filter manual. Ordering the wrong size means the pipes will not seal properly.
  • Clean the glass regularly to prevent algae buildup. Glass lily pipes are prone to green spot algae on the inside of the outflow cup. A small pipe brush and diluted hydrogen peroxide soak every few weeks will keep the glass clear. Avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the interior.
  • Position the outflow just at the waterline. The outflow cup should sit right at the surface so water cascades across without breaking it. If the cup is too deep, you lose the surface skimming effect. If it is too high, you create excessive surface agitation and CO2 loss.
