Lily Pipe Dimensions?

[George Farmer]

I've a set of these, 16mm, on the way from Aquatic Magic.

Does anyone know 'X', please?

sorry im new but what are lily pipes

 

[Underwurlde]

a.) Don't know (sorry)
b.) Fancy outflow pipes from an external filter.

o ok thanks for that

Going by the pic they look like the "Flo" ones. Looking at this pic I'd hazzard a guess its about 2 1/2 inches:

But thats purely a guess!

Scaling off the picture, then dim "X", is roughly 2.5x the od of the tube. So 16x2.5 = 40mm. I'm assuming the od is 16mm.

On the 12mm version X = approx 35mm

Thanks guys.

Pretty sure it's going to be right around 5cm. Who wants to bet ....any takers?

I'll let you all know when I recieve the glassware and measure up. The closest gets a copy of the latest 'The Aquatic Gardener' magazine, if they're interested...

It's important as I've modified my Juwel hood to incorporate the lily pipes.

I'm hoping 'x' is long enough to allow the 'lily' to be submerged sufficiently.

If not I'll take the hood off completely, add a glass centre brace (as the regular brace is integral to the hood), and use an overtank luminaire.

George.

I found that due to the suckers sticking to the outside of the tank that most of the U goes through the holes meaning that you should definately be able to totally submerge the lily.

The question would be more a case of how high can you get them if you choose to use them to aerate occasionally as I do or even have them constantly providing extra O by having them 2/3 in 1/3 out and putting in extra CO2 as I was doing previous.

let us know hoe they tur out, as i am thinking of getting them(hate the green eheim ones)

 

[DevUK]

Me too! And I'd have to do a similar mod on my rio 180

I'd like to revise my guess to 5cm/2" I was looking at the wrong dimensions
