xCompact, purposeful design for nano tanks
FZONE’s Glass Mini Skimmer Lily set is built for small aquariums, offering a balanced blend of surface cleaning and gentle water movement. With a 6.5-inch footprint, it fits neatly in most nano systems, leaving room for lighting, plants, and other essential gear while helping maintain clear, active water.
What’s included and compatibility
- Skimmer lily inflow pipe
- Lily outflow pipe
- Glass adapters ranging from 10 mm to 13 mm
- Spring brush for easy maintenance
The 10 mm to 13 mm adapters are designed to work with hoses of different IDs, including 12 mm ID and 9 mm ID, making setup flexible for common small-tank plumbing configurations. This means you can connect the set to your existing filter lines without needing major changes.
Materials and build quality
The main components are crafted from laboratory-grade borosilicate glass for durability and clarity. The floating portion and the lower assembly use acrylic, which remains highly transparent while withstanding routine handling. The combination makes it easy to monitor flow and balance at a glance.
Smart inflow, clearer surface
The inflow lily automatically adapts to changing water levels, helping reduce the film that often forms on the surface. A simple twist at the bottom lets you fine-tune the surface extraction versus intake rate, giving you practical control over how water moves in your tank.
Return flow and overall filtration loop
After filtration, the lily outflow carries clean water back into the aquarium. This design supports steady turnover while preserving water clarity, all within a compact footprint that minimizes clutter around your filter area.
Why shooters of nano tanks might consider it
Small setups with careful light and vegetation can benefit from a reliable surface skimming solution that’s easy to install and adjust. The FZONE mini skimmer offers a tangible improvement in surface activity and water movement without demanding a complete system overhaul. Benefits are presented as possibilities, not guarantees, and depend on your specific tank conditions and maintenance habits.
Quick setup tips
- Position inflow and outflow pipes to avoid interference with décor or equipment.
- Use the 10–13 mm adapters to match your hose IDs, ensuring secure connections.
- Lightly rotate the bottom control to balance surface skimming with gentle intake for your inhabitants.
Maintenance at a glance
Keep the spring brush on hand for periodic cleaning, and wipe the glass surfaces as needed to maintain clarity. The borosilicate glass and acrylic components are designed for repeated use with minimal wear.
