Dymax Stainless Steel Lily Pipe with Surface Skimmer – 12/16mm

The Dymax Stainless Steel Lily Pipe with Surface Skimmer is a durable inflow and outflow pipe set for external canister filters. The built-in surface skimmer clears oily film from the water surface, while the stainless steel finish is tougher than glass and keeps the look neat. This set fits 12/16mm tubing.

Key features of the Dymax Stainless Steel Lily Pipe

• Stainless steel pipes
• Built-in surface skimmer
• Removes surface film
• Tubing: 12/16mm

Choosing the right set

Pick the set by your filter’s hose size: 12/16mm (12mm inside, 16mm outside diameter) suits smaller canister filters, while 16/22mm matches the hoses of larger models, so check your existing tubing before ordering. The version with a surface skimmer adds an intake that draws in the oily film from the water surface, while the plain set suits tanks without surface scum. The lily-shaped outflow spreads the return water gently across the tank, which planted aquascapes often prefer. Dymax also sells lily pipe holders (DM605) to fix the pipes neatly to the rim.

Good to know

Set the skimmer just below the water line, and clean the pipes regularly with a pipe brush to keep the flow strong.
