Chihiros Poppy Type Glass Outflow is a premium glass outflow pipe designed to enhance water circulation and surface movement in planted and aquascaping aquariums. It is available in two sizes, each compatible with standard external filter hose diameters, allowing a perfect match for different aquarium setups.
The distinctive poppy-shaped outlet gently spreads water flow across the water surface, improving oxygen exchange without creating strong currents. This helps prevent surface film buildup while maintaining a calm and natural flow inside the aquarium.
