I'm going with this one, since Michele Faube suggested both uplift tube and riser.

  -> thanks - yes, riser is better, I got ‘uplift pipe’ from ‘uplift tube’, which is what it is called on our fish tanks.

riser; riser pipe


Explanation:
"Uplift pipe" is 100% unidiomatic (indeed unheard-of), not to mention distracting (since "uplift" is a psychological term).
"Riser" is an extremely familiar and frequently encountered term, well known to and regularly used by any fluidics engineer.
It refers to a vertical pipe used to transmit fluids, particularly in an upward direction.

neutral  Michele Fauble: ‘Uplift’ is used, for example an ‘uplift tube’ in a fish tank. But yes, ‘riser’.

  -> I never worked as an engineer for fish tanks, so I have no reaction -- except to say that a fish tank is very far afield (so to speak) (minor linguistic joke).
