Lily Pipes

[Ps3Steveo]

My hydor looks like it has 20mm pipes and the only lily pipes I can find are 17mm for the stream scape, can you get pipes that connect from a large hose to make it smaller to fit the lily pipes???

You can get adapters, but that would of course reduce the flow rate of the filter, I think Eheim make them, but I'm sure most filter brands will have a set available, have you measured the internal diameter of the pipes?

Prob about 17mm I know the outside is 20mm I work with 20mm tubing all the time so it's unmistakable lol thing is i'm thinking 17mm large lily pipes will be too much on my 60litre? Might look out of place?

I thought hydor were 16mm pipes? Well I know the 30 has 16mm pipes

Yeah just looked them up 22mm external, 16mm internal, anyways I got mine for free now, it had a slight drip from one of the clips, got a refund and told to keep the filter, happy days. Gonna just put it on a towel for now, buy some new lining for the canister to stop the drip and spend the cash on sone lilys.
