Wow you are right it does look like a blender, I just put some finish on the base to see if it will help with that problem, what do you think?
I think the powerhead in the bottom will handle the circulation needs.
I was thinking of staining it a washed out grey to look like driftwood.
I'm looking to hide all of the equipment so you can focus on the aquascape.
The plan is to go through the bottom with bulkhead fittings to a small powerhead in the base to keep all the plumbing out of sight.
Jimbo205 We do get cold in the winter, and the tank is going in a west facing window so I will need to heat it in the winter and watch the temp in the summer.
I love your hex, I just haven't got to the point I can go completely low tech, maybe someday....
Mine will be ok for vacations, that is one reason I don't use water column ferts. to much hassleing with the tank. My tanks are on a continous water change system so the water quality stays excelent even when I'm not here.

That is one cute little filter, but I can't hide it in the base and I don't really need any filtration.
I made a trip to the LFS and got some ideas for a small powerhead to do the job, they didn't have the little size and now that I'm home I can't even remember the brand
I still need to figure out the heat issue but I have an idea on that, I will go into detail when I figure it out.
Until next time
