Your Canister Filter Deserves Better Pipes (Here's Why)

Aqua Worx Flux stainless steel inflow/outflow lily pipes are a sleek, durable upgrade for any canister filter running 1/2" or 5/8" standard tubing — available with or without a built-in surface skimmer, for both freshwater (FW) and saltwater (SW) setups.

What Makes These Different

• Acrylic tank-mount holders with nylon screws let you precisely raise, lower, and angle the pipe against the glass — large tanks (we tested up to 130 gallons) are no problem
• A removable silicone barb-fitting insert lets you redirect flow direction without twisting the whole pipe assembly — useful when you rearrange plants or hardscape and need to change where flow is aimed
• The skimmer intake has an adjustable knob to balance surface skimming against bottom intake, plus a fully removable inner sleeve for easy brush cleaning
• Pipes need to sit close to perpendicular in their holder for the skimmer to maintain proper buoyancy and function correctly

Installation Tips

Shut off filter power and any inline valves before removing old tubing. Soften the existing flexible tubing in near-boiling water before pulling it off — trim off any section that's already flared or expanded, since it won't create a tight seal a second time. Reheat the tubing before sliding it onto the new stainless pipe for an airtight fit, and adjust the angle while the tubing is still warm and pliable.
