Hiding Tubing

[lankey89]

Ive just bought myself an air pump which has 2 outlets. i have one of the tubes wrapped around my heater and one around my filter intake. I thought they'd be nicely hidden but they still show and look quite tacky/un-natural. how do you hide your tubes ?

i normally run anything like that (eg my moonlight LED spotlights) under the gravel then up and out the tank in the corner where my filter and stuff is.

also have alot of plants round there to cover em up a bit.

I don't think round the heater is a very good idea. Won't it melt?

Also you get special green tubing which is not bendy for taking tubing into your tank. If you hold it above the kettle it bends where you need it to go round the corner. It is much better than trying to get normal tubing to stay on the sides and not float all through your aquarium.

With a background you can hide or make things less visable.By placing silk plants not the "cheep"one's around any life suport equipment you can make it look more natural.
Thanks for your reply earler know I see
