    kind of a weird question but I have 2 K4 powerheads in my 90 gallon tank. I am considering building a inclining mountain type a aquascape against the corner of my overflow. Could i hide the powerhead by building my aqua scape around it? I would run the power head half way down the side of the tank and stack all around it. Nothing would be leaning on it just around it. just an idea right now..

    It would work, but you'll significantly cut down of the water flow from your powerhead unless you leave a hole in the aquascape directly in front of the powerhead.

    Tunze makes a fake rock that fits their powerheads.

    I was gonna say, I picked up one of those fake rock deals that have room inside for speakers or lights. $2 ea at a garage sale....just more junk for my storage I guess.
