There are so many options to hide the powerhead. It always comes down to price. Currently the popular option although not the cheapest are the Tunze Turbelle Pumps. There are various sizes and also come with controler options. House is selling a controler and MR members get discounts at acropora.net To hide the entire thing tunze makes a rock in which you can hide the pump entirely.

The rock is a type of ceramic which in time will get encrusted with coraline etc. blending in with all the other rocks.

If you want some thing that will change direction of the water flow check on this item:

It rotates and around in a circle and changes the direct of the flow out of the PH, you also don't need to use the sponge in the picture.

Make a spray bar from CPVC - available at HD

Cpvc?

I've also see an attachment, at NW, that is a spray bar. It maybe an attachment or it comes with the PH/Filter, but NW had it in a couple of their tanks and they sell it up front.

Yeah CPVC is yellower in color and typically 1/2 inch. Most PVC starts at 3/4.

I started with this and used it successfully with a MAG 7
