FZONE Aquarium Glass Lily Pipe Set with Surface Skimmer (16/22mm)

FZONE Aquarium Glass Lily Pipe Set with Surface Skimmer (16/22mm)

Glass outflow plus a skimmer inflow with a floating acrylic top for 5/8 inch ID (16/22mm) tubing. Takes surface film off while feeding the canister.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Skimmer inflow rides up and down with the water level, so evaporation does not stop it
  • + Rotating base sets the split between surface and lower intake
  • + Removes oily surface film without adding a separate skimmer to the tank

Trade-offs

  • - Acrylic float parts are bulkier and more visible than a plain glass inflow
  • - Skimmer moving parts need more cleaning than a fixed pipe
