Default DIY Acrylic Lily Pipes
Hello,

I have seen a few helpful posts on how to build your own acrylic lily pipes.

Does anyone here make them and sell them? If so, what is the price range, including shipping?

I am interested in some for a 20 gallon tank with half inch tubing, but don't have the materials for a DIY.

Thanks!

You can get nice glass sets on ebay for under 40 bucks shipped. The vast majority of the diy acrylic ones I've seen look horrible.

Those eBay ones are all pretty similar in terms of quality and looks, what size are you looking for?

13mm to go with an eheim canister filter with 1/2 inch tubing.

The intake can be 10 inches max.

From what I remember, a couple of transparent zip ties help with the mm to inches difference.
