Clear Acrylic Lily Pipe Holder for Inlet and Outlet Pipe Positioning

The Dymax Lily Pipe Holder is a 2-pack of clear acrylic holders that secure lily pipe sets — both the inflow inlet pipe and the outflow outlet pipe — at a fixed, adjustable position on the aquarium glass. The holders are adjustable in both angle and height, allowing the outflow pipe to be set at the precise surface depth needed for optimal circular surface current and gas exchange, and the inflow pipe to be positioned in the correct lower-column location for effective water draw into the canister filter.

Correct lily pipe positioning is more consequential than it might appear. The outflow lily pipe's depth relative to the water surface determines whether the circular current reaches and agitates the surface effectively — a few millimeters too deep and the surface movement becomes too gentle; too shallow and the outflow splashes rather than flowing, driving CO2 out of solution in planted tanks. Once the correct depth is identified, the holder maintains it exactly. Without a holder, lily pipes connected to canister filter hose can shift their position incrementally over time, particularly when the hose is disturbed during water changes or when the canister is moved for maintenance.

The holders are made from clear acrylic that Dymax describes as blending with the aquarium's surroundings. A clear holder on transparent aquarium glass has minimal visual impact on the aquascape or display tank. Both holders in the pack are easy to install and remove for routine cleaning.

Key Features:

  • 2-pack of clear acrylic holders — one for the outflow lily pipe, one for the inlet pipe
  • Adjustable angle allows precise alignment of the outflow bell and inlet intake
  • Adjustable height allows the pipes to be set and held at the exact depth required
  • Clear acrylic blends with aquarium glass for minimal visual impact on the tank layout
  • Suitable for aquarium glass up to 16mm thick
  • Compatible with both freshwater planted tanks and saltwater aquariums
  • Easy to install and remove for routine cleaning and maintenance

Ideal For:

  • Planted tank and reef hobbyists running Dymax stainless steel lily pipes who want a dedicated holder that maintains both the outflow and inflow at a precise, consistent position between maintenance sessions
  • Aquascapers who find their lily pipe position shifts during water changes or when the canister hose is disturbed, and want a simple clip solution that locks the pipe in place once the correct depth is set
  • Retail shops stocking the lily pipe holder as the natural low-cost add-on alongside any Dymax Stainless Steel Lily Pipe Set purchase

Pro Tips:

  • Set the outflow position precisely before locking the holder in place. The holder's job is to maintain whatever position it is set to, so the initial setup is the most important step. Position the outflow bell at or just below the water surface to produce a visible but gentle circular surface ripple before clamping the holder, and confirm the surface movement is correct before leaving the tank.
  • The 2-pack covers one complete lily pipe set. One holder secures the outflow lily pipe, and one holds the inflow pipe — the two holders in the pack correspond directly to the two pipes in a standard Dymax Lily Pipe Set (or the Lily Pipe Set with Surface Skimmer).
  • Remove the holder when cleaning the lily pipes rather than cleaning around it. Clear acrylic is easy to clean, but calcium deposits on the holder can look more obvious than those on the pipe itself because of the acrylic's refraction. Removing the holder and cleaning it separately from the pipes takes thirty seconds and keeps both components looking their best.
