Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aquarium intake pipe used for? The intake pipe pulls water out of your tank and feeds it to an external canister filter, where it is cleaned and returned through an outflow pipe.
Will this fit my canister filter? This intake is sized for 17mm tubing. Check your canister filter and hose size to confirm compatibility, and use the appropriate adapters or tubing if needed.
Is glass better than plastic for intake pipes? Many aquarists prefer glass for its clean, nearly invisible look in planted tanks and aquascapes. Glass requires gentle handling but is easy to keep crystal clear.
How do I keep the intake pipe clean? Periodically remove it during water changes and clean the inside with a soft pipe brush to prevent algae and debris buildup that can reduce flow.
