Would Lily Pipes Be A Waste Of Time If I Used This Method?

[Truck]

so im buying an eheim pro II, 2026

and i thought i may as well attach lily pipes, but it still would not be enough flow, so if i used lily pipes and a power head , would the ovular circulation from the lily pipes be distorted?

would their be any point in using lily pipes as well as a power head, because i can go with an eheim with a flow rate of 650 lph and a power head or 750 lph with no power head ( for cost reasons ) obviously i would rather save 50 quid for 100 lph and go with a power head

I think you'll need a circulation pump (Koralia are awesome) with either of those filters!!!!

I have Lily pipes on my 700lph filter as well as a Koralia1 (1500lph.)

Doesn't alter the 'circular vortex at all but then I don't use it in a way that creates a vortex. I let a fifth to a third of the Lily stick above the water to create surface turbulence.

yeah i was looking at a korilia 1 or maybe 2 nanos but thats expensive.

so would there be anypoint in my spending £30 on a cheap set of lilies?

Of course. They look great

I would go for a Koralia 1 rather than having 2 Nano pumps in the tank!!!
