Water circulation

[A/C Dood]

I'm a avid DIY'er and I'm looking for suggestions, links, pictures or any helpful information on water circulation in my 135g tank.

> I'd like to keep my tank free of power heads if possible.
> I'm trying to achieve a clean looking tank without additional components mounted to the back or side walls.
> As you may have guessed I'd like everything to be hidden.
> I have recently installed a wet/dry filter and eliminated 2 AC 500's, 2 Rena XP 3's and 2 300 watt heaters from the back wall of my tank.

Just trying to clean things up and push the water to the other side of the tank where my overflow box is located.

Appreciate the help and suggestions,

A/C Dood

I've seen returns that are completely customizable. You can run them from the top all the way to the substrate with multiple nozzles aimed in different directions. I believe pet solutions and that pet place has them

You can increase the gph of pump to move more water.

Could hide the power head in a diy fake rock or rock wall. I have seen some amazing 3d backgrounds made by people.

edit: Power head is the only thing I have left in my tank also, excluding the drilled drains. Nothing like a tank free of equipment. While I don't like the power heads in the tank they give me more flexibility then a return line would unless I really bumped up the gph on the return pump.
