What kind of plants are those?
Natural Plants (they can grow out & up), Rocks (ex. slate structure) and large DW offer excellent natural ways to hide equipment. Ornaments, Decor and fake plants are other alternatives.
for the filter i would sudgets some kind of plants... becauce drift wood would block the circulation a little bit but for the heater a larger piece of drift wood with a scoop like shape so one side is round out and the other side curves in to go around it would work great...DW stands for drift wood btw also a pile of rocks you like would work just as well
kindafishy said:Thanks all. Yes, of course plants that is my go-to solution. I was more looking for some really creative, out-of-the-box-thinking ideas that might be out there.
I am interested in hearing more about rock solutions. Like for instance I had the idea to silicone a bunch of rocks together as a sort of encasing structure for the filter, leaving bigger holes where the water intake part is. Not glued to the filter, but more like a base for it, with the rocks continuing up the sides of the filter to hide it. And then have the outflow come over the rocks, sort of like a waterfall. And then I thought, that might just look like a bunch of rocks glued together around a filter! So I am looking for some clever ideas and examples from those with a little more experience than me...
BTW, what does 'DW' mean?
