For those of you who use Lily pipes how are you preventing the Protein building up at the surface? Are you adjusting the pipes to the surface a bit?

I never had this problem before with just using a HOB?

If adjusted just right they form a little whirlpool which prevents the surface slime.

The whirlpool effect depends on how strong the filter. It will create the vortex in any hight nor left or right.

I suppose my pipe is too low below the surface. Do you guys mind taking a pic of your pipes location so I can see exactly where to put it?
