Glass Lily Pipe Inflow with Surface Skimmer (13/17mm, Planted Tank)
🐾 Product Overview
Glass lily pipe inflow with surface skimmer — 13mm/17mm, aquarium planted tank filter — this glass lily pipe inflow with integrated surface skimmer draws water from the tank surface while removing the protein film that accumulates on still water, with glass construction for clarity and aquarium aesthetics, 13mm or 17mm sizing for different filter hose diameters, and inflow pipe design for use with external canister filters. Surface protein film blocks gas exchange between tank water and atmosphere, preventing both oxygen entry and CO2 escape — regular surface agitation or skimming eliminates the film and maintains the gas exchange that fish and plants depend on.

💖 Why You'll Love It
Glass lily pipes are the finishing touch in high-quality planted tank builds — the elegant curved glass inflow and outflow pipes that replace utilitarian plastic filter hoses are a defining visual element in the Dutch and Nature Aquarium styles that have defined planted tank aesthetics. The surface skimmer integration solves the protein film problem that affects any aquarium with reduced surface movement — the film is visible as a dull, oily-looking layer on still water and actively interferes with gas exchange that both fish and plants depend on. A lily pipe inflow with integrated skimmer draws water from the surface as part of the normal filter return flow, continuously removing protein film without requiring a separate skimmer device that would add equipment and tubing to the setup.
