Filter positioning with 3D Background

Hi all :)

Just a quick question, if I position the in and out hoses behind my 3D background will I still get adequate filtration for my tank?

My filter is a Fluval fx5 and my tank is 6x2x2

I know its a rookie question but I want to make my setup look a little neater

It goes back a while, but I did this a while back and was very happy with the results. It takes time, a little effort and lots of patience.

If you're interested there is a 90-odd message thread from before I started through to the finished product. Lots of advice was given and mistakes made:

TL;DR - Yes, it works very well and totally worth the effort. Just be careful of:

  • Scratching glass with tools
  • Scratching glass with background
  • Pebbles stuck into silicone at the sides of the background are starting to fall out.
  • If you ever want to add aeration, put airline hose in - even if you don't just do it in case you change your mind!
