Hello

Does anyone have the Cal Aqua Labs Efflux F1 (13mm) lily pipe?
http://www.thegreenmachineonline.co...ystem/lily-pipes/cal-aqua-labs-efflux-f1-13mm

I have an ebay lily pipe which points the flow downwards (a lot), I think this (the Cal Aqua) could be more what I am after. So I am after some feedback from satisfied owners?

I have a fairly small tank, around 45 litres empty. Dimensions 45cm x 28cm x 30cm.

Feel free to recommend alternatives.

Thanks
Paul
 
I've used one of these on a 30cm and a 25cm cube. It worked well. Although it is slightly upward pointing it still left the surface still enough for running the CO2 and for my betta to chill out near the top of the tank. Build quality seems good.

Hi
I am using the Calaqua F2's the main difference being that the flow is aimed at approx 45degrees down thus sending the flow/current down, which in my opinion is a good idea.

Check my lounge journal for pics.

Thank you both for yor feedback.

My current knock off lily pipe sends the flow down to the bottom of the tank and I find am losing a lot overall movement round the tank this way. Although this might be because it is a cheap replica.

I think I may go for the Cal Aqua and a bit of surface agitation would be good thing in this tank. I have until next pay day to decide.

Cheers

If you've got nothing to lose heat the lily up with a blow torch and tease the flute upwards. If you're sold on getting Cal's then you've nothing much to lose except a broken spare lily. :p
 
Garuf! That is a great idea! I will go and a blow torch in my lunch break and I will try and post some pictures of my attempt...

Cheers
