Cheap Lily Pipes / Lily Pipes for a Fluval 105

[Thomas McMillan]

Firstly, does anyone know what size lily pipes would fit a Fluval 105?

Also, I've never bought lily pipes before, and I'm starting to think if I did then I'd be broke for life! Does anyone know if there's anywhere to pick up a pair of lily pipes on the cheap?

Cheers

What size is the tubing on the filter? That dictates the lily pipe diameter to go for...

eBay has some cheap ones which I got a year or so ago:

£25 delivered for 13mm pipes.

Fluval 105 has connection for 16/20mm, which I have then reduced using 12/16mm tubing to fit my 13mm lilly pipes on my nano.
The hose lock nuts do not fit around the connection with replacement tubing so you need to push the tubing on a long way down.

How big is the nano mate? In my two 10l ones, Cal Aqua are the only ones that look right but in my 30l, the ones above look great.
