Need trickle filter suggestions

jan · 02-11-2004, 02:13 PM

I have a wet/dry filter with a hang-off trickle filter that is an eye-sore. i would like to figure out a way to route it so that it does not hang off the tank. please take a look at my fuzzy pics and let me know some solutions

Thanks a bunch!!!!!

tank view

Short of drilling the tank, there is no way to hide it, unless you have a hood high enough to cover it. Is it on the back side? Do you a FOWLR tank?

there is not a whole lot you can do like WR said. i use painted wood as a background for my tank. it is a cheap way to keep from seeing through the tank.

Is that on the front of the tank???

Most of us that don't have drilled tanks run the overflow on the back of the tank....

no - my tank is set up sideways and i dont have a drilled bottom - thats why i am trying to figure out the best way to go about doing this

any hope of moving the tank out from the wall and putting the overflow between it and the wall, maybe make an easy off cover to help hide it?

or maybe make a stylish cabinet that covers the overflow. just box it in so it looks like a piece of the stand instead of a piece of equipment.
