Eheim 2211 or Fluval 105 with Nano Lily Pipes

Hello,

I am looking for advice on how to use either an Eheim Classic 2211 or a Fluval 105 canister with 9mm Lily pipes from AquaticMagic (http://aqmagic.com/store/product_info.php?pName=magic-lily-pipe-9mm-set&cName=accessories-lily-pipe). The reason I went with this set instead of the 13mm one is because the dimensions are perfect for my Finnex 4 gallon nano aquarium (dimensions: 12.2"L x 7.5"W x 10.2"H). The 13mm set is way too large.

I am concerned about getting a tight seal from the larger diameter Eheim or Fluval tubing to the smaller diameter glass pipes. What would I have to do to accomplish this? I'd appreciate any advice on this (especially first hand).

I have not yet ordered the filter (planning on doing it when the pipes arrive), so the filter choice is not set in stone. If anyone can suggest a better filter for my tank size and more suitable for use with these lily pipes, that would be great.

Thank you for reading. :)

If you can find the 2211 get it! Simply of it's solid proven design with the Ehem Classic.
100% bypass free and Classic's go a LONG time in between cleaning.

The Cal aqua 13mm pipes are much nicer IMO and you can get em quick through GLA in FL
