Steel "Lily" Pipe Set with classic intake

Steel “Lily” Pipes are an excellent replacement for your stock plastic canister intake and outflows. They are sleek, extremely effective and circulating water and easy to install for a dramatic upgrade to the appearance and functionality of your setup. 
 
While glass lily pipes are fantastic and beloved by many, steel pipes have a strikingly sleek and high-tech appearance. They are also virtually impossible to break and a godsend if you’re clumsy. They are virtually maintenance free since algae and grime buildup inside is invisible and only need to be cleaned if the flow is obstructed.
 
Each set includes a stainless steel intake and matching outflow along with acrylic mounting brackets for each. The mounting brackets are designed for rimless aquariums but can be used on tanks with rims less than 15mm wide. For larger rimmed tanks, use our suction cup pipe clamps to hold  them in place. 
 
All steel pipes have a “jet” style outflow that is extremely effective at circulating water and eliminating stagnant spots in your tank - two considerations that are extremely important for a successful planted aquarium. They are also fantastic for circulating CO2 and create a slight whirlpool which sucks in and dissolves surface scum. 
 
If you have fish or shrimp that prefer a more subdued current,  check out our glass Poppy and Spin outflows. You can also use the valve on your quick release fitting to adjust the flow rate to your liking. Acrylic lily shaped adapters are available to create a more diffuse current.
 
Steel pipes should only be used in freshwater environments. Salt-water corrodes metal so only glass pipes should be used in marine setups.
 
This set features an attractive matte finish and a standard intake designed to take up a minimal amount of space in your tank. It is the best choice for a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
 
While compatible with any type of canister hose, steel pipes look absolutely amazing with our unique smokey grey transluscent hosing.
 
Available for 12/16 and 16/22 hose sizes.
