My new FX5 is on the way! My question is...What is the best way to hide the tubing in the tank? I've seen tanks with black backgrounds use black pvc. I intend on using a black background, but is there a better way?

-Looks like one FX5 is gonna lead to...well....umm not that I had thought of this before I convinced my wife to let me go for the FX5...but A 300 GAL TANK!:headbang2 - Proimise me all you won't tell.:D
 
Im in the process of trying to hide my neon green eheim stuff. Good question , Maybe one of those special backgrounds you could integrate it into the cement ?

Wrap a cylinder shaped peice of styrofoam around the piping..Make sure it is fitted right....Take the styrofoam out....Shave in rock shapes....Putty up some quick dry cement on it.....Slip it back on the tubing...And ta da!!!!You got yourself a hanging tube rock formation.....
 
Geez... I had heard it was pretty big. I like the styrofoam idea except for the fact that the "stone" would probably look out of place in the tank. Great suggestion though!
