Poppy (Bubble) Outflow
Poppy outflows (also know as bubble outflows) are a type of "Lily pipe" designed for slower water movement and greater surface agitation that than classic lily pipe. These are well suited for fish that like slower water movement such as a Bettas, Guppies and Killifish. They are also angled slightly upward to agitate the surface of the water (depending how high you mount them) and are fantastic at breaking up surface scum and aerating your aquarium while minimizing the loss of CO2 compared with an old-fashioned airstone or bubbler.
Designed to replace unsightly and frequently ineffective canister outputs, these look like a work or art and will give your aquarium a dramatic face lift when used alongside a matching glass intake. It replaces a lot of ugly plastic equipment with beautiful, clear, handblown glass fixtures and is indispensable for an aesthetically pleasing aquarium setup.
For the many aquarists dealing with unsightly (but harmless) surface biolfilm, poppy pipes do a fantastic job at agitating the surface of water enough to break up the scum without being noisy or losing too much CO2. The effect is enhanced with a skimmer intake although it is more effective than using a skimmer alone.
You can adjust the amount of surface agitation by changing out the mounting height. Mounting the outflow deeper results less surface agitation ideal for planted tanks with CO2 injection. Higher mounting creates more surface movement and is great for aerating the water for certain animals (such as Goldfish) that require a higher dissolved oxygen content. They are great for replacing noisy airstones and bubblers that massively reduces precious CO2.
All of our Lily pipes are made from thick, high quality glass that is easy to clean and hard to break.
For those running CO2 systems, replacing your existing bubbler or airstone with a Poppy pipe helps to make the best from your investment whether you are using an in-tank or in-line CO2 delivery system.
If you have specific requirements such as a deep aquarium or want a very fast or slow flowing water current, check out our other types of Lily pipes to find one that is just right for you.
