Description:
The outlet is where your canister filter returns clean, filtered water back into the tank, and the shape of that outlet determines how water moves through your aquascape.
Where the hemispherical outlet disperses return flow broadly across the surface, the Speaker Outlet directs it in a more focused, concentrated stream. The narrower, speaker-shaped bell creates a stronger directional current that pushes water across the tank with more force, making it better suited to setups where you want targeted flow to a specific area rather than broad, diffused circulation.
This makes the speaker outlet a good choice for tanks with higher flow requirements, such as setups with fish that prefer stronger currents, tanks where you want to push water toward a specific corner or filtration zone, or aquascapes where surface agitation for gas exchange is a priority. It can also be used alongside a hemispherical outlet on a second filter to create a more complex flow pattern across a larger tank.
Dimensions: 180mm height, 56mm width (12mm pipe) and 66mm width (16mm pipe). Made from high-quality glass with high resistance to temperature changes.
Available in 12mm and 16mm to match your canister filter's tubing size. Select the required size above. Each size pairs with the corresponding standard inlet or surface skimmer inlet to complete your glass lily pipe setup.
Also available as a Hemispherical Outlet for aquascapers who prefer a broader, more diffused return flow.
Each piece is sold separately. This product is the 12mm Speaker outlet only.
Please check your filter's internal hose diameter before purchasing to ensure the correct fit.
Suitable with canister filters for freshwater planted aquariums, aquascaping setups.

How the Glass Lily Pipe Outlet Compares
🔊 Speaker Outlet
- 🌊Focused Water Flow: Directs return water in a more concentrated stream, creating stronger directional movement across the aquarium.
- 🎯Targeted Circulation: Useful when you want to direct flow toward a specific area of the tank, corner or filtration zone.
- 💨Strong Surface Movement: The directional flow can help create surface agitation where increased gas exchange is desired.
- 🐟Suited to Higher-Flow Setups: A practical choice for aquariums where fish, plants or the overall layout benefit from more focused water movement.
- ✨Clean Glass Design: Transparent glass provides a minimal, elegant appearance that blends into planted aquascapes.
⭕ Hemispherical Outlet
- 🌊Broader Water Distribution: Disperses return flow more widely across the surface rather than concentrating it into one focused stream.
- 🌀More Diffused Circulation: Helps create a broader flow pattern that may suit aquascapes where highly directional flow isn't required.
- 🎯Less Targeted Flow: The broader outlet provides less control when you specifically want to push water toward one area.
- 🌿Ideal for Gentle Flow Patterns: A useful option where a softer, more distributed return flow suits the aquarium layout.
- ✨Minimal Glass Design: Transparent glass keeps the outlet visually discreet within a planted aquarium.
The speaker outlet fills a specific need that the hemispherical outlet doesn't cover. For aquascapers who want more control over where their return flow is directed, or who are running fish that prefer stronger currents, it's the right choice. Stocking both outlet styles means customers can choose based on their specific setup rather than being limited to one option.
Clean glass lily pipes regularly to prevent algae and calcium build-up, which reduces flow and detracts from the aesthetic. A dedicated lily pipe cleaning brush (a long, flexible brush sized to fit the pipe diameter) makes this straightforward. Soak in a diluted white vinegar solution to dissolve stubborn calcium deposits, then rinse thoroughly before returning to the tank. Handle with care during cleaning as glass pipes can crack if knocked against hard surfaces. Always disconnect from the filter before removing.
