Filters In Cabinets

[Robris]

Is it fine to put cannister filters in your fish tank cabinet? I guess you just drill circular holes in the cabinet and have the tubing running through and connect it to the filter? Does anyone do this or does everyone have it outside the tank cabinet somewhere? Because Im fairly tight on space so yeh

In or out of the cabinet, it really doesn't make much difference. Most cabinets come with holes or openings to put pipes and cabling through. If you do put it outside the cabinet, just make sure the pipes running to and from the filter arent too long as they lose more pressure the longer they are and your filter will be less effective.
