ANS Opti I-Pipe 10mm Glass Pipe for Aquascaped Tanks

The Opti I-Pipe is a slim 10mm glass pipe that runs your canister filter’s flow into the tank through a clean, near-invisible curve over the rim. We fit these on nano and slimline OptiCube scapes where a bulky plastic outlet would spoil the minimalist look our local aquascapers are going for. Hand-blown Opti glass stays crystal clear under bright LED lighting instead of yellowing like cheaper acrylic.

Connect it to filter tubing sized to suit, easing the hose on with a little warm water so the glass isn’t stressed, then set the depth with a holder for steady, even flow. Good circulation matters most in our warm 27-29C tanks, where gentle surface movement keeps oxygen up overnight. Treat the glass carefully during cleaning, since the thin profile is more delicate than plastic.

Expect periodic biofilm and mineral spotting from Singapore tap water, so keep a cleaning routine. Read our glass pipe cleaning guide and the flow rate guide. Find more in filtration equipment.
