OASE FiltroSmart 60 - Lily Pipes?

[tayloss]

Hi all,

I have a small OASE FiltroSmart 60 canister filter that I'm running and testing on my planted tank and wanted to replace the standard plastic looking inlet/outlet with glass lily pipes. However, the tubing is 8/12mm, and I can't seem to find suitable attachments in that size piping and wondered if the pipe would stretch?

Alternatively, do I find a converter to up size the pipes to it? This is for a small 25ltr aquarium. so not a lot of room but will be better than the current internal one!

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Lily pipes to fit are out there, for example https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/291598767597?chn=ps and maybe these https://www.aquasabi.com/aquarium-filtration-in-outflow
And the tubing will usually stretch a little. Just stick it in some hot water first, it will become very soft and malleable.

I think aquarium gardens have just got some 10mm lily pipes in. Other styles like poppy are available too.

I've checked and the smallest they have is for 12mm piping.. will be ordering a Thermo 100 for my other tank as I'd like to get the heater out and tidy it up a bit more!
