Eh i'm looking for those knock off lily pipes for normal tanks. Wondering where you seen those suitable for 2ft. Thanks.
Hi All,
Just checking around if anybody knows of any ADA-type knockoff (read: cheap) glass lily pipes for nano tanks (1 feet and below).
I'm quite reluctant to part with $100+ bucks each for the real stuff for such small tanks.
Thus looking for knockoffs to try and get the look.
Not to mention my finance minister will have my head if I bought it.
Unfortunately she's no klutz in this so I can't fake her. She recognises the brand logo "ADA" leh. My own fault for "educating" her.
So far I noticed the knockoffs I found are all too big, for 2 footers and above.
Which I personally feel its worth it to buy the real stuuf for bigger tanks so no problems there.
Only the small tanks...

I'm also looking for one, Aeon told me that he bough online. Unfortunately I don't like buying online.
Hi Lee1224 where did you saw it?
None that I know off in the market. Your best bet is to find an acrylic supplier and see if the can fashion something for you out of acrylic pipes.
Call me Brian.
P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
Off my head I can quote you 2.Originally Posted by limchongyu
One's via an ebay shop - AquaticMagic => http://stores.ebay.com/AquaticMagic/Home.html
Only comes in 1 size but should be good for 2 feet.
tcampbell is using it for a 2 footer. See his thread ==> http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ad.php?t=30109
Seems like this is based in Malaysia if I'm not wrong
The other one is also online - CAL Aqua Labs ==> http://calaqualabs.com/index.html
Has abit more variety in terms of sizes.
From Thailand I think.
Thinks KS / East Ocean stocks the 1st one if I am not wrong
Spotted it at their booth during Aquarama.
Never checked out the actual shop though.
You can give online buying a try I suppose.
A few bros here bought from AquaticMagic. Maybe you can get some service feedback from them.
And CAL Aqua labs is a merchant here in AQ as well.
I was afraid it might have to come to that.
Anyone know any acrylic suppliers willing to do custom?
Custom making 1 or at most a couple of sets may also probably not be worth it (its still acrylic after all
In Bras besah Complex there is a shop that can do acrylic for you, but I'm not too sure if they can do the pipes. There's also an acrylic shop along Jalan Besar that can do it(bending the tubes), but I don't think it'll come cheap. If you have the know how, Artfriend sells acrylic pipes in different sizes that you can try to bend on your own. You'll have to drill whatever holes yourself though.
Call me Brian.

Want to learn more so that i can give back...
not easy bending acrylic, better let the profesional do
Haha I don't have the tools so i can't do it even if I want to.
And no guarantee my skill is good enough.
I didn't exactly do well in art/technical class way back in secondary school..
brianclaw,
probably i will make a visit to one of those shops you mentioned and check it out
have to balance against cost and quality
if its relatively costly and end result is not anywhere close to the real stuff, then its not really worth the money
sometimes you really have to pay good money for the good stuffs
i had bought a set of ADA pipes (lompang collague who went Japan) for my yet-to-setup 3-footer for my new house
marvelling at the beauty of it everyday man

KS has those lily pipes look alike.
price cheaper than AquaticMagic
i saw them at Aquarama.. looks same as those of AquaticMagic
If i;m not wrong, Midori's also planning to bring those in
Any idea KS has any sizes other than the Flo pipes (same as AquaticMagic)?
KS is the one at Yishun?
I live there but I bought from AquaticMagic...
Haven't seen it though. They have glassware like imitation pollen glass, drop checker but didn't see lily pipes.
I'm back!
KS is this one near tiong bahru ==> http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...d.php?t=25320&KS is the one at Yishun?

Hi Shadow,
Got any pics to show us?
unfotunately my digital camera not with me so the photo was taken using handphone. The hose size is 12/16mm. They also sell bigger version (bigger hose size), but sell only in set (lily pipe + inlet) and $10 different
I hope you are not confuse with all the arrows and numbers

bro can give the full measurements?
just to make sure i didn't miss out anything
Any idea where to get the clear suction caps for the flo pipes? Mine didn't come with the suction caps. I'm currently using the black ones for my Eheim filter, which is damn ugly.
I'm back!
the suction cups are come with it but I'm sure C328 have it
