    Not too sure myself.

    Maybe those who actually use ADA lily pipe outputs or the Eheim "lily pipe" output can explain better.

    I know this question is a little weird, but does it come in other colors, for example black?
    Studying the water chemistry and nutrients is a science.
    Knowing what plants to get and how to use them is an art.
    Aquascaping is a marriage of art and science, the logical and emotional.

    I have use this when I had my planted tank before I shut it down due to a leak problem.

    The use of this funnel is to provide a diffused outflow of water coming out from it. The water flow coming out from using this item is different from that if the water had came out from a pipe alone. There is a slight turbulence at the mouth of this funnel which may create a diffused water flow further away from the funnel. But you need to know how to use it. The cut portion must face the front, as in facing you when you view the tank and should be below the water level.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    mass flow rate of water is dependent on the width (cross section) of a pipe.
    the smaller the area the faster the speed for a fix mass flow rate.
    so the diffusor slows the speed/velocity of the water.
    the difference with the ADA version is the top being fully closed.
    if you look at the outlet width and the pipe width, its about four times bigger.
    thus the speed/velocity of water is four times slower for the same mass flow rate.

    Thanks for the explanation guys.
    So the set up of the funnel in the attached pic in the first post is incorrect right?

    The funnel acts as a loudspeaker for the owner to speak or communicate with the fishes? Dont quite know what is it use for then.
    It's not just "Step1: Add Water, Step2: Add Fish" If everything else don't work, add plastic plants and fish

    the setup for the first post is okay.
    no problem.
    but it really depend on your tank setup and plant growth.
    you can direct the water to best suit your tank.
