any picture?

You can try to put 1 I/O on each side so that water can be circulated.

Alternatively, if its still in time, try to drill hole from underneath.

hi roland.
thanks for the books but still in stan's hand.
what you mean by drill underneath? is that for own make filter?(the over flow).
the tank is 2mx70cmx70cm.i attach 3 pix for you. you can see how near the I/O. but if i join the output to make it reach the other side, the pipe can be seen. how to hide it?last time you told me already about the design.so what is your opinion now.thanks before

oh, i thought both sides are hidden in cabinet. So there are actually 3 viewable sides.

I usually use 2 filters for such tanks. But you can actually try putting a submersible pump near the wall side, to improve water circulation.

If you drill hole from beneath, you can actually have 2 filters on each side. The I/O will be pvc pipes coming up from beneath and hoses will not be seen, and filtration pipes wont be hanging around. For this, you can either do a sump system or just attached the filters to the holes with reducers, pvc fittings and hose.

now you can see clearly. sorry for my bad english and explanation for you.
if i drill beneath hole, and use pvc pipe for cover the I/O so of course the pipe have to be higher than the water level? am i right?

[lorba]

you can cut the pvc to any length u wish.

The output can be hidden anywhere or if you want, extend it to the surface and have a fountain?

The input can be any level as well as long as it is beneath water surface. YOu might want to have one extended near surface so that you can have a surface skimmer.

better get a professional tank maker or glass contractor to do the hole for you. Your cabinet needs a bigger hole at the tank hole area for silicon job.
