Agreed clear pipes are really annoying to clean!
I got some transparent but grey tinted 22mm pipe off Amazon, it’s an acceptable compromise. Need nano bots in the filter cleaning the interior!

Wondering if it’s the filter? I’ve got 3 Eheim filters including an Ecco Pro and all are very quiet? Does it do it when placed on a solid floor?

I’ve got glass Lilly pipes but a surface skimming inlet which is mostly glass but has a floating section that is plastic.
The glass bends on the skimmer are very difficult to get around with the pipe brush and brushing the plastic is just scratching it and making it opaque.
I have some PBW...
I’ve got two, but flow much reduced by a CO2 reactor. I like two at diagonally opposite corner to create circular flow. I have two Hydor 900 circulation pumps but I think my hard scape isn’t ideal for flow!

The APS Hose barbs are a lot bigger, internal diameter approx 17 mm.

Only problem is hiding them, bit ugly IMO

Hi,
I'm setting up a 30 l nano and was thinking of getting one of the Wave Niagra hang-on filters as a stop gap until I can afford a external. Has anyone had any experiances with thses filters :?: I'll go for the one rated 300 l/h. Only real concern is the weight of the hang on filter on my...
