hiding equiptment

[musky48in]

I am starting a new 125g cichld tank and I want it to look great. what I would like to get some ideas on is how to go about hiding the heater, air hoses, filer intake hose. I haven't gotten the tank yet so I was was thinking of an acrylic tank that I can put a box in that would have slats cut in to it like you would see on an overflow box. My concern is that there wouldn't be enough current for the heaters and the intakes of the filters. I was thinking of going with two eheim pro II filters and two heaters in an aquarium that size. Any other ideas?

I hide my heater ect behind tall anacharis strands and giant vallisneria both plants are good nutrient sponges and anacharis is believed to release chemicals toxic to algae which is another benifit. These plants grow ridiculously fast in my tanks.

I'm going the cannister route on my 55 and intend to cover up the hoses, heaters, etc. by using driftwood and plants. The cannister I plan to place somewhere out of sight around the tank. Underneath if it'll fit.
