FZONE Glass Mini Skimmer Lily Pipe Set for Nano Aquarium 1/2" Tubing

Let me start by saying, the size of these lily pipes are perfect for your smaller aquariums. They are actually very small in size. The photographed tank, is a 14g Aqueon rimless cube. The skimmer seems like it would work fantastically. See, I say 'seems', and 'would', because I didn't actually get to use them. You can tell in my photo that I have black out film on my back wall. That black out film has the slightest texture on the exposed side. Why that is important--is because these pipes attach by suction cups. Without a smooth surface, there's no way for me to create the vacuum needed to hold them in place. And I've already cut the plastic finishing panel for the intake and exit that were supplied with my canister. So, rearranging MY hoses--to the side--is less than ideal, and not visually pleasing with this particular tank's location. Now, here's why I went ahead with 5-stars: that's solely my burden to deal with. This is an established tank I am trying to adapt them to. In a fresh tank build, I'd have no issue integrating, or using them. The included suction cups are more than adequate to do the job of hanging the pipes. I hung the pipes on the front glass just to insure I could say so, before I wrote this review. I have no doubt that there are many of you reading this, that would have no problems with this kit. Even though my current setup will not allow their use, I am not returning them. That's how much I like them. They will definitely be used in a future aquarium.

Super simple, pretty, doesn’t look cheap. These are not the nicest Lily pipes ever but for the price they are great, they aren’t flimsy and have proven durable after I dropped the pipe on accident. Pretty in my tank

Works perfectly as expected.

Very pretty lily pipes! The skimmer was a little tricky to dial in at first, but it’s easy once you get it set up. It keeps the water’s surface really clear. The outflow produces a great, gentle circulation that is perfect for nano tanks. Tank pictured is a UNS 45L (3.4 US Gal). My only complaint is that it seems the outside diameter of the pipes where the tubing is attached is SLIGHTLY small. I tried multiple different types of 1/2” vinyl tubing and none of them fit perfectly snug on the pipes. I was able to prevent leaks by using a little bit glue to secure the seal. Overall a great product though!

Beware of the quality of this lily pipe. I removed it to clean and when I tried taking off the suction cup the glass nub it was attached to broke off and sliced right into my hand. I had to get 12 stitches because of this. See photos for breaking point.

I absolutely love these lily pipes on my 6 gallon nano tank, and I especially love the mini skimmer. The glass pipes sparkle, were easy to install and the mini skimmer works like a dream. However, water evaporates quickly in my little tank and so I have to constantly unstick the suction cups and move the glass lily pipe up or down to keep the skimmer working. Today I went to move the pipe again the way I've done it dozens of times before and it snapped right in half. So now I ordered the stainless steel pipes with mini skimmer.

I own two sets of these and they are very nice and everything functions as it should. Glass is plenty thick although you always have to be a little carefull with glass. I lightly heat my tubing when taking it on and off and it will slide off way easier. The skimmer works as it should but personally I take off the skimmer piece and use a piece of filter foam so I still get flow near the top and nothing can get sucked in. Definitely not worth taking off a star since everybody has different needs, that's just what works for my setup since I run my water a little low because of my hardscape.

Works great on my rimless aquarium, really helping to eliminate surface scum. When I encountered a problem with the surface skimmer breaking on accident, the customer service was willing to replace the part.

Impeccable. Skimmer efficace, réglage simple, complet avec l écouvillon. Les ventouses sont plutôt efficaces.

Ich hatte mir erst die große Lily pipe gekauft und schnell gemerkt das sie doch zu groß ist😅, dann doch die kleine gekauft und ich muss sagen alles lauft sehr gut. Im kleinen Becken, 60L, lässt sich damit die Strömung sehr gut verteilen und auch der Skimmer erledigt seine Dienste sehr gut. Würde ich für kleine Becken wieder kaufen und würde sie auch empfehlen.

Temevo che, nonostante le foto che pubblicizzano il prodotto, questo fosse troppo grande per una vasca "nano". Invece le misure sono perfette! Sto allestendo una vasca 30x30x30 (27 lt) e come si può vedere dalla foto le misure sono assolutamente adeguate. Il vetro è di buona qualità e trasparenza nonostante il prezzo contenuto se paragonato a quello delle marche di riferimento per questo tipo di hobbistica. Assolutamente da consigliare a che sta allestendo un Nano acquario con filtro esterno. Unico neo le ventose che sono decisamente grandi rispetto alla grandezza delle pipes.

掃除ブラシが使いやすい

Comes with only one 9/12 to 12/16 adapter! Not able to use it straight away if you plan on using a filter like Oase Filtosmart 60. Everything seems fine otherwise.
