Hiding hoses

normD · February 1st, 2007

29 gal FW Tank, looking to but a bubble wand but i dont like seeing air hoses drapped in the tank. Any suggestions on hiding them?

Put a fake plant or live plant in front of it or run it behind your filter intake tube.

That exactly and if you want you could get some live plants, that like a current, put the plants surrounding the hose.

Thanks for the advice.

I just ran the hose down the back, suction cupped it a few times and put a plant in front of it. You can't see it unless you look through the side of the tank. I also used a flexable airstone and buried it right below the surface of the gravel. Makes a nice cascade effect.

Later on, you may also want to try creating a moss wall, or landscaping your back wall in such a way that it hides the hoses and plug wires:

Thanks gunnie for those great links! One of my pet peeves. All those hoses, filters, heaters that show at the back of my tank. I think I could really enjoy a remake to dress things up a bit. Do you have any idea if "cork bark" and a local cottonwood would be similar? The bark looks the same. I suppose boiling it to remove the tannon would always be advisable. I also love the moss wall idea. What moss would you suggest? Should help with nitrate.
