This is so helpful, thank you! I'm working on a betta tank with a monte carlo carpet and trying to find a balance of having good circulation for co2/nutrient distribution for the carpet, and not having my betta get yeeted around lol.
Started to write a comment pushing back on something said about one of the pipes but I stopped myself (atypical for me), because the video isn't really about that and it's far too useful a guide to spoil the comments with my "well actuallys". So thank you for making such a good & helpful video. So good & helpful in fact, that it got me to shut up long enough to be able to enjoy something without having to be an insufferable pedant lol. Very very well done and thanks again!
Our 75g tank came with two normal lock-pipe returns. I've been trying for years to find a way to tune the return better. I never heard of lily pipes before today. Now I need a dozen of them.
J'apprécie beaucoup ce video. Je viens d'installer mon Oase 600 sur une 64g et j'essaie de figurer le outflow vs le courant afin que mes petits habitants soient bien. Merci c'est une excellente démo.
@@NAQNatureAquariumQuebec allez vous avoir un site dédié qu'on puisse magasiner en ligne des trucs plus haut de gamme? Je sais qu'on peut aller vous voir mais c'est pas comme faire un plan et remplir son panier de goodies...
À défaut de me répéter, mais NAQ n'est pas un magasin. Je t'invite à regarder cet vidéo pour nous comprendre un peu plus, si ce n'est pas déjà fait ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U0hTS2Js5w0.html
Great Video and amazing music choice! I have a newly set up heavily planted15 gallon tank using co2. I'm adding pea puffers after it's cycled. Which of these outflows would be best for co2 distribution while not shooting the little murder beans around the tank?
I don’t like lily pipe because the outflow pipe don’t create enough surface agitation, hence oily substances appear at the top of the water , so surface skimmer also required .
super video, question j'aime bien la violet mais je me demandais le courant est tu pasmal de la meme force que la reguliere(juste l'angle qui change) et est-ce mieux d'avoir la violet quand on utilise du CO2 vue que sa bougerais les bulles vers le bas un peut plus longtemps ?
Honnêtement il ya rien qui bat l'original (Lily, lys) c'est le plus polyvalent pour toute les situations et il offre la possibilité de créé un remous en surface pour maximiser l'échange gazeux. Le violet on le recommande principalement pour des aquarium profondes, faisant 24" de haut ;)
Very good, clear presentation, but I'm still not sure which version I should choose... I have floating plants in the middle of the tank and would prefer to keep it that way. On top of that my Chilli Rasboras and Clown Killifish don't like strong current. What would be the "golden mean" in this case?
I would go with the classic Lily pipe and position it beneath the water surface to minimise surface agitation for you plants. The wide opening will disperse the current to have les impact on your fishes
Anthony Tirado ime it’s no problem. Just have to make sure it fits the pipes of course. I know that the fx’s need some modification to have regular tubing instead of the rubber tubing to work with these lily pipes.
Is water circulation in the tank better if you keep them both in the front corner? I have them in separate corners on the right side, trying to improve my setup
Its better to keep inflow and outflow pipes on the same side of the aquarium, thus forcing a better circulation. Putting them up front on one of the sides assurés that there will be no obstruction of flow since we rarely put tall plants in front.
Lily pipes are worthless if cannister filters get clogged. Usually do because their pumps are not strong enough for what they promise to be. You can have same thing with a gardening pipe, obviously does not look as fancy as these.
Amazing video, was having trouble understanding the differences. I’m setting up a 16g planted cube for a betta, will the spin have enough water circulation to move the CO2 about while not stressing my betta? Thanks!
We usualy use spin pipes in smaller size aquarium (2 - 5 gallons) im afraid there wont be enough circulation for a 15 gallons water collumn. Unless you go with a canister filter with incredible pressure (super jet filters from ADA) I think you're better off with a regular Lily pipe ;) more flexible.
Thanks so much for the quick reply! In your experience would a regular lily pipe cause to much current and stress for a betta? My plan for filter is a Oase filtosmart thermo 100
