lgamboa Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Does anyone have experience in buying Lilly pipes and Outflow glassware online? If so, which brand (other than ADa and Do Aqua) would be good and where to buy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) I bought mine off ebay. No complaints, shipping takes a little while, but for the price who cares. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Magic-Lily-Pipe-Set-16mm-Aquarium-Plant-Tank-ADA-Filter-/260554719380?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3caa458094 Edited November 4, 2011 by Jayba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Not an answer to your question, but I am going to try and make some over the long weekend. I'll have to see how they turn out, been planning what seems like ages but don't have time till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this add but wasn't sure if it was safe. How many weeks before you got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 So I made two outflow pipes, they're pretty sharp looking. Haven't researched inflow because I don't have a canister filter to hook them up too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 So I made two outflow pipes, they're pretty sharp looking.

Sierra Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I haven't taken any, but I will today or tomorrow sometime. I think I'm going to work on the inflows then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Here is the very first one I made... (not counting the pipes where I messed up the first step) I think for the very first one it is good. Room for improvement but for the amount of material I got for the price ...yeah. I am still planning on polishing the edges of the funnel area to more of a rim because its pretty flat. Oh I haven't took the marker off this one yet. http://s1182.photobu...%20Lily%20Pipe/ I gave the two nicer ones to my aunt and some tubing so she could muck around with the inflow thing because I don't have time till the holidays. Too heavy of a workload for school till finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Looks pretty nice, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks, like I said it wasn't bad for the first one. Good way to shrimp proof filters vs. the classic sponge option (to me anyway). I have heard they are difficult to clean unless you have the right ..?tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubr0ke Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 if you make any more and decide you want to sell them... let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If you're bored and have a heat gun. You can get all the base material for around $25. (lots of tries, minimum purchase of tubing/rod material is 25) Household items you probably already have +salt +special fine tooth saw (possibility to be creative here) --used for cutting very thin part without cracking ....hardest part of the whole thing +glue (recommend high temp) +another person makes it 10x easier +patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
