Team unbreakable here! This is best possible advertising for the Neo - great work with the unboxing by MJ. I am going to buy one of these as soon as they hit the UK. I would like to see Aquario release a box of different outflow heads (lily, poppy, Jet, spray bar) as well as giving the option to put the skimmer on the inflow so that the filter collects small parts of leaves.
Great unboxing and cheers to actually put them to use. Curious to how these hold up after bleaching and several maintenance/cleaning jobs. Don’t agree that they should add tools that are one time used. From a care for the planet point of view that is at least my opinion. On the product, I love the holders. Thanks
i broke about 8-9 glass skimmer, for last 3 months i'm using acrylic one from uk ebay, what i can tell u, when you will be clean them avoid using those hard sponge(scrape one usually green of yellow) becouse you will scrach acrylic/plastic pipes (i did it) now i just use bleach, and soft sponge and it work well . 👍👍
I always wondered why you couldn't get nice lily pipes in plastic, or at least I couldn't find them. But they look great, cant tell the difference in the video - interesting if they will stay like that like glass does... 🤔
It looks pretty good. I just wish the outlet had the same design as the glass lily pipe outlet, as it just looks better. I'll admit, removing glass lily pipes is scary. I had thought about placing a barbed splicer near the lily pipe hose connection, so I wouldn't have to remove the hose from the glass everytime I clean them...
I definitely will get one set once its available on EU market. I would put outlet at the bottom of the tank to make CO2 flow even better 🤩 BTW what do you guys prefer, the Neo defusser or glass defusser?
It seems to be an excellent alternative to glass lily pipes. In my opinion, if a harder brush is used it will scratch the plastic ... I hope not. Congratulations on the video and for bringing this product. 👍🏻
Best thing is you should be able to cut the pipes to the desired lenght, depends on the hight of the tank :D really looking forward for these. Im just too clumsy for glass >.
mostly think the flow is better because the inlet has less restriction. I would like to have 2 long ones so you can hide the tubing most of the way down. Interesting product for what price indeed?!
Something I just realized, because they are made of plastic these can easily be altered to fit different tank sizes. Just get a small hand saw, and cut to the desired lengths. Not to mention how easy these would be to clean compared to normal glass Lilly's. I love glass...but they make me so nervous... I have broken two different pipes... One durring installation, and another while cleaning. These seem to totally solve that problem. However I would not use this in a tank that does not use CO2 without being aware that plastic no matter how well manufactured will be quite a rough surface microscopically compared to a glass surface which means that algae will have a lot easier time attaching to and growing on these pipes.
I would not be surprised if they release different outflow attachment shapes in the near future. In China you can get glass attachments like lily and poppy that connect to the outflow of the SS pipes to replace the jet attachment and they would work on these plastic pipe too.
Thank you for posting the advantage of the lever with the JBL product over the Ehiem. I'm in the USA, but I'll gladly order it on Amazon and wait for the package to arrive from Germany. My aquarium requires this because I'm going to running two Oase Biomaster 850 filters under my 220 gallon tank and will need these to be able to pull the tube of pre-filters out due to the Oase filters being so tall compared to the available vertical clearance under my stand. You've saved me from having a huge problem! THANK YOU!!!
Great vid! can you lower the intake and outake from neo to have them almost hang on the side of the rim? (reduce the big curve sticking out) To make it look more aesthetically pleasing.
I don't have the type of plastic you have, but I made my own pipe from acrylic pipe that you use for computer building. It's really easy to work with in order to make custom sizes. I like my upper bend larger, so I can stick a large intake sponge on. I love the configuration options that Aquario has to offer. I'm probably going to purchase one of their units.
wow mate, this is what i was looking for ! You are a hero ! i break 3 sets of lily pipes, and i just give up on them...can wait to be available for buying!
I hope they make a transparent plastic surface skimmer like the TOM Aquatics Surface Skimmer cos the current (glass, plastic/acrylic) ones in the market is troublesome to adjust without getting your hands wet.
My first impressions list Pros: Not fragile, brackets instead of suction, adjustable/variable lengths Cons: outflow is poor design, possibly easier to scratch while cleaning, and might frost from bleach soaks.
So now that ypu have had these for a while what are your thoughts? did cleaning them scratch them up? setting up my 1st aquascape soon and I want to use something nicer the the oase in/out flow pipes.
Hi! I know you're busy on your videos & all, just wanna ask if is there any other method to prevent protein buildup since I don't use a pipe with skimmer. I removed it because my filter is a bit weak for the skimmer & also, I wanna have a cleaner look. Hope you could answer my question. God bless!
Yeah that's a good question, if you don't have a skimmer you can try running an air pump at night, or raise your filter outflow a little bit. Besides that I don't have any suggestions... sorry
Any idea where i can buy..? Im interested with this and the diffuser ( extended version) from aquario.. but struggling to find in Belgium.. maybe in NL..??
The lily pipes are not for sale yet. I think we can expect them in shops next month. The diffuser is available in some aquascaping shops here in NL, maybe you can check out aquasabi.com I'm sure they ship to Belgium.
I'm using a spring brush from VIV aquatics I believe it is the M size brush, the bends are a little tricky indeed, but with a bit of soap or bleach it usually works.
For me, it is out. No choice of outlet shape. For small tanks, I would prefer a round one. With such a strong flow, it is an invitation to algae. But maybe the company has plans to release variable endings. Then maybe I'll try. But at the moment it is rather a product not for plant aquariums.
Hallo MJ, ik zie in veel van je filmpjes dat wandmeubel met je kleine scapes voorbij komen. Zou je willen delen waar je die vandaan hebt? Lijkt mij ook een tof meubel om te hebben.
Hey Marco! Dit meubel heb ik bij Leen Bakker gekocht! Hier is de link www.leenbakker.nl/kasten/wandkasten/wandmeubel-kyan-zwart-naturel-180x120x40-cm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9se4gIz35gIV1-J3Ch3sDABaEAQYASABEgK-JfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@@MJAquascaping Dopee... btw i could be wrong about this but, i just thought that it might also have a discoloration overtime (whitish haze) when it's underwater, please make an update if does.
@@MJAquascaping great! as someone who has a hooded aquarium with braces standard glass lily pipes aren't suitable due to the inability to place them correctly for best circulation. This is a fantastic solution and in a good quality. I'll be first in line! Thanks for the sneak peak
Plastic in the English language is the proper material description for what we call a High Grade Artificial Fabric aka Kunststof. Where Plastic in Dutch is only used for the in present day seen as cheap and inferior Petrol based ingredient. Actually derived from the world of Arts. Plastieken from 1858, the art of modeling in plaster, clay, wax, etc.; the physical arts, also including sculpture and sculpture. Belgian inventor Baekeland whom invented Bakkeliet. probably preferred the back than Artistique Y Tré Chique sounding Telephonique Plastique over the modeled version Now in an attempt to actually try something useful. Those digging the crystallite water flow in and out, maybe even get enlightened from this Dutch Aquarius and his Water pipe set Hit the ..... :)
Plastic stains over time. Look at all the clear internal filter pipers from outlets not clear after a wall, scratch with cleaning or get stained by light and algae. Waste of money.
