Good quality. Prefer these over plastic.
Very good quality. I prefer these to the flimsy plastic parts that shipped with my lily pipes.

High quality product. But the intake pipe is a bit short.
Feels so premium. Perfectly fit my tank. I wish the intake pipe a bit longer and more customizable. It's half way through my tank.

Little Room for Operator Error
These brackets are beautiful and minimalist. When installed correctly, and paired with the appropriate lily pipes, they look amazing. However, there is very little margin for user error.When installed on the aquarium rim the single, small diameter set screw that holds each bracket in place creates an immense pressure point onto a tiny spot of glass. If there is any excess tension in the hoses that puts a twist or transfers unintentional force to the bracket, you run the risk of ripping a chunk of glass out of the rim of your brand new UNS 60T aquarium - ask me how I know.Unfortunately, this was at least 80% user error on my part, so I mostly have myself to blame. Fortunately, at least, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been.Even before I ordered these, understanding a modicum of physics, I knew this pressure point would create risk. The same would be true for glass lily pipes - the small set screw that holds the pipe in place could easily puncture the thin glass wall if set too tight.Had the hoses been the exact correct length (I’m working in an awkward, confined space), the tension created by the twist in the hose would not have been present. Or even if it was, and had I not attempted to adjust the position of the canister filter after the bracket was installed on the rim, it may not have ripped the 1.5”/4 cm long shard of glass out the way that it did.That said, I am taking away one star, as 20% - in my completely unscientific analysis - of the risk could have potentially been mitigated with a design that uses two, larger diameter set screws as to more evenly distribute the pressure point that’s created across the glass rim when the brackets are installed.Even so, if you’re an expert at dealing with hose lengths and lily pipes, and have never broken a lily pipe under similar circumstances, you won’t be as likely to run into this sort of issue, and you’ll be rewarded with a great looking installation.

Great aesthetics & looks clean. Works for rimeless Aqueon 14g. Sturdy acrylic mounts/screws.
Highly recommend!Looks like a mature tank not a child’s first tank lol. Elegant & clean polished aesthetics. Fitting for the natural aquascapes.I have Aqueon 14gal rimless tank.Ordered the cheapest option which the length is over 10inches long, I wanted to leave room in case I rescaped my tank & didn’t want the inlet to be stuck too deep on the bottom.From experience with previous longer inlets, fish sometimes chill in the corner w/ limited space to swim around & it seems uncomfortable for them to be constantly sucked towards the inlet. A shorter one works for me. Mucho happy.Surprised to find 2 acrylic mounts 1 for each pipe w/ 4 acrylic screws.Holding strong.I forget pipes are mounted, so I advise you to be careful when moving the tubing around if you’re cleaning up your space, it may crack the glass tank or mounts fall off.Quality item.I expect this to last many years to come.Will definitely return to purchase more.

Great item works flawless
bought these lily pipes for my 29 gallon aqaurium and they make the tank look look awesome and they do their job. suggestions - get the large metal fzone rim clamps to go with this set the plastic clamps will break if you have the black tank rim and get some hose clamps as weel to secure fasten the hose to these pipe to prevent any leaks or other misfortune.

Terrible mounts..filthy pipes.
Maybe for a rimless aquarium they'd be perfect...But if you have a rimmed aquarium they won't work.Both broke right when I turned my pump on.. they need to make the mounting side wider. This is a total bummer.. on top of that, the aluminum ones they sell separately are also too small.. unfortunately the pipes also came filthy. There was buffing polish compound all over the pipes. Took acetone and a brass bristle barrel 6scrubber to get it all out. WASH INTERIOR THOROUGHLY, the compound is highly toxic to fish.Aside from that, the pipes are decent quality. I would give it more stars had the mounts been the right size, the main reason for low rating was because of the gunk I had to clean out of the inside.
