Hey all, I’m setting a nano tank for the first time, I’ve traditionally set up larger tanks with sumps, this current tank I’m setting up is a 20 gallon rimless nano, no sump and a built in overflow box and return chamber behind the tank.

so my question is, what is the cleanest, most aesthetically pleasing way to have your ATO line run into the overflow area for top off, I’m trying to avoid seeing this big ugly tubing eyesore behind the tank. I’m use to having a sump below the tank that the ATO would run into so aesthetics were never a huge issue there

anyone have any good ideas? Or just zip ties to the cord management and dump it over into the overflow box. Pictures of your set up if you got one would also be great

thanks
