Some of my favorite outflow glass pipes and how they work. Companies I tested and like are Aqua Rebell, VIV, and CalAqua. I hope you enjoy the video, please hit subscribe!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Its OK to read about them; but when deciding which to purchase and utilize, seeing each in this way was fantastic. Thank you
I was just about a post a question asking about the different heads in glass pipes in a group and this has saved time and perfectly answers my question!
Even after 2yrs this videos you have made them..I still praise them how you make this research and testing for us today is very useful. Thank you for the hard work and sharing guys! From the island lit red dot of singapore👍🏽
Very educational and fun. I'm thinking about changing from a spray bar to a lily set up in my 40 breeder. Thinking one of the ones that directs the current more downward with an intake that has a surface skimmer attachment.
I found this very helpful. Many thanks to you I know which one to get for my fish tank. My dumbo guppies are having a hard time swimming with the eheim spray bar.
Hi! And thank you for the useful visuals! What would be best for a 30l cube where one betta only lives but there's CO2? Betta doesn't like currents but for CO2 I do need some flow. Thank you!
What is the point of the spin type? Wouldn't you have a lot of still water areas around the tank since the output blocks the circulation of water around the tank?
with a smaller canister filter like the zoo-med nano 10 would you reccomend a spin pipe or poppy pipe for a 3gallon cube, i plan on stocking it with nano shrimp and maybe a few nano fish
That isn't a lily pipe XD. There ARE mini lily pipes. But that is a violet pipe. There are large ones too. They are designed for a lot more forceful flow than lily pipes. NOT good for mollies, guppies etc. More for Tetras, Rasboras etc. You get the idea... It is also geared towards Iwagumi scapes for more flow on the bottom of your tank. Hence the downward facing lip that is ONLY present on violet pipes.
I've started using a spin pipe for the first time a few days ago and now I'm wondering about the intake. In my tank, the outflow sits in the front left corner while the intake's in the back right corner. Would it be better for the intake to be in the back left corner because of how the flow works with such a special pipe?
I have found it’s good to keep the two separate. Depending on the scape, experience has shown me to have the spin pipe’s flow hitting the largest mass of plants. It further diffuses the flow and keeps detritus from building up on leaves. The inflow should be in the most open area as possible. Feel free to email us with a picture of your scape for more help.
Or you could just hang your canister filter's outflow on an appropriately sized Aquaclear HOB rather than using its impeller pump. The Spillway of the HOB is Engineered to give Proper Surface agitation and Oxygenation of the Water Column. - Just hanging a Canister's outflow on the tank? Where's the Oxygenation (after the canister has depleted the Oxygen levels ?)
That isn't a mini lily pipe XD. There ARE mini lily pipes. But that is a violet pipe. And there are large ones too. 101% unmistakable shape and flow. Violets also cause the vortex if close to the surface. If you bought it under lily pipes, I applaud the seller. They are designed for a lot more forceful flow than lily pipes. NOT good for mollies, guppies etc. More for Tetras, Rasboras etc. You get the idea... It is also geared towards Iwagumi scapes for more flow on the bottom of your tank. Hence the downward facing lip that is ONLY present on violet pipes.
*sigh* Dear Mary Contrary You’re 101% wrong. There’s no downward tilt to the pipe, the outflow is at 90*. A violet outflow is thin, and oval, while this is round. If you have issues, I’m sure the designers and sellers of the pipes I used, (Cal Aqua, Aquasabi), would love to hear from you and your input, and change their misleading ways after a decade+ of selling these products. Thank you for your insightful and well researched comment.
Where did you get the mini lily pipe? I need that tornado suction for surface scum and that would be the perfect one for me :) I need a 16/22 mm tubing
@@BrooklynHardscape 9.3 gallon, the UNS 45U. I have a pretty large outflow poppy pipe in it, but Im looking for the whirlpool lily pipe specifically for that feature. I'm not entirely sure if it's the violet pipe (aka mini lily pipe) as different companies look slightly different than the one in your video. :)
@@rdrdghd The violet pipe I believe is the flatter lily shaped pipe. Any true lily pipe will give you the vortex. You just need two position it correctly.
Depends on what you’re looking for. For my 45P for my betta, I started out with a poppy pipe and than switched to a spin pipe. The same tank I used a normal lily for cory’s and a mini for green neons. 9instagram.com/p/B8ZW85rlpcP/?igshid=1b1tt8uozkj2a)
Ideally the bubbles from the reactor are excess CO2 that could not be dissolved. Which is the difference between an inline diffuser and a reactor. Spin pipes are good for shorter tanks, while a lily pipe pushes water further making Brownian Motion happen faster in longer tanks. In other words, aquarium size relates to pipe type.
First time I've actually seen someone be able to describe/demonstrate the difference. Most of the time it's a shoulder shrug. Great video!
Thank you so much for showing us how they really perform instead of going by general recommendations

Felt like I was watching a solid movie trailer the whole time
Best video hands down 🔥..good music!
This is just what I was looking for. Superb.
Thanks for making this, it’s really helped us newbies 👍

A great idea ... awesome ! Now I see the differences. THX !
Helped me make my choice for the Spin version for my 10 gallon betta tank!
I wouldnt, it could get sucked in and washing machined. Which is the problem I get with endlers and lily pipe.
Very satisfying to watch!
Really useful😀😀 thank you, making my 3rd tank and still leaning and this has helped imensely.
Epic! Awesome job... and the music choice complements a great video ... 🤘
Awesome video demonstrating how each works
u put in waay too much effort in editing xD I loved it thanks for the help man!

Me too. Mini lily looks perfect 👌
best way to explain ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great information. Thanks for the upload!
Im so glad you posted this video !
Great video - Been waiting for someone to do this for a long time.
I found this very helpful. Many thanks to you I know which one to get for my fish tank. My dumbo guppies are having a hard time swimming with the eheim spray bar.
Wow really cool. Looks like you had a lot of fun making this👍
thanks for making this video!
Very informative hats off
Awesome Video Man!! Great information!
Amazing 😊
Nicely done!
El mejor video, muchas gracias!
Wonderful job. Thank you.
Good video. Be cool to see the various brands of lily pipe and how they Compare and full tank flow etc. But this was good. Thanks.

made my choice... thanks
when did aquariums become a thing of doom?
Great video! Which brand was the mini lily pipe? Can't seem to find it anywhere...

Hi, which one would be the best for 80cm aquarium with ehem profesional filter 1050l flow.
I've started using a spin pipe for the first time a few days ago and now I'm wondering about the intake. In my tank, the outflow sits in the front left corner while the intake's in the back right corner.

Awesome video! Thank you for the info, are you able to use these pipes with floating plants? Which Lily pipe would be best for that? Thanks again!
I’d use the spin pipe for floaters. Everything else will get blasted away.
@@BrooklynHardscape I noticed that it is mainly geared towards nano tanks, would an eheim 2211 and a spin type be enough for a 29 gallon tank?
Great video and work! Can you name this sound track please? It’s great also :)
which one will be good for betta fish tank of 30gallon
nice!
Wow this is a video GEM that was hiding

problem with these glass pipe, they be full of algae in no time. it looks nasty and hard to clean
Hello, which I recommend to a Aquarium sweet 300 liters with plants? What is it okay to not eliminate the co2? Thanks
Hey Dante! They would all work with a planted aquarium. But I would suggest a lily pipe for larger aquariums.

You’re 101% wrong. There’s no downward tilt to the pipe, the outflow is at 90*.

Where do we buy they’d lily pipes?

I’ve never seen it come that large. Most of my pipes are from aquasabi in Germany.
What size aquarium do you need it for?

@@BrooklynHardscape Thank you so much!! I found one with a great size and the lily shape :D
Would spin pipe good for bettas? Or the flow would be too strong for them?
I’m about to do an ADA 45P for a Betta using a spin pipe. So yes. I think it’ll be OK
Which one suitable for small tank 45cm
Depends on what you’re looking for. For my 45P for my betta, I started out with a poppy pipe and than switched to a spin pipe. The same tank I used a normal lily for cory’s and a mini for green neons. 9instagram.com/p/B8ZW85rlpcP/?igshid=1b1tt8uozkj2a)
Witch of them is the best for an co2 reactor Inline?
Any will work just fine.

@@BrooklynHardscape ok. Thank you for your answers and your time.
Informative but no VO?
the music kinda went too hard tbh sheeeeeeeeesh
what is this music 😭😭
Musica is so bad
bad choice of music..
I liked it
You can use mute....
I thought it was AWESOME
