Downpipe into canister filter

[becks]

I’m currently planning my planted freshwater build and was wondering if a downpipe into a canister filter would work? I don’t want a sump for co2 gas off, but would like all the equipment hidden so I was thinking I could have a hidden downpipe that feeds the canister in the corner hidden by a weir, and a return in the other corner, once again hidden.
