Canister Intakes

[KaiserSousay]

I`ve had an idea festering for awhile..a pair of canisters, sharing an intake that would run along the tanks entire back panel, from end to end, Was thinking of 1/2"CPVC painted same color as the background. Loads of holes for debris pickup and no flow restriction..
That would only have the intake lines running down the tanks back corners and across an area generally hidden by decor.
I know it has been done, right???
So is it or
Or neither?

sounds kinda like the HOB mod someone just did. I see no reason why it wouldn't work. There's just always that risk of picking up substrate. You would just ahve to space it up from the bottom. If you go with a bare bottom tank, then you should have no problems at all.
