Stumped...need some advise

[KatBarber]

Hello R2R!
We are new to the saltwater and live reef hobby, so kinda learning as we go.
I am trying to figure out a way to hide the filter input and output tubes and UV sterilyzer in my tank. I have a 60 gal tank, and my input and output hoses are hanging in the back of my tank, along with the UV sterilyzer, but it is driving me crazy to be able to see the stuff, if that makes any sense. When I look in the tank, I want to focus on the beauty of the fish and coral, the polyps and the live rock - not be focused on the hoses lol.
I was thinking of getting a piece of like PVC pipe, drilling some holes in it, and cutting a hole for the filter output spout, and hiding all the stuff in the PVC pipe. Does anyone have any advise, or thoughts on whether this would be a good idea? Or a better idea?
Thanks for your help!!

Most of us have the back of our tanks painted so we don't see anything behind our tanks. That is a option, you can also paint the PVC to match your wall so it want be as visible behind there.

It might be kinda hard to paint now since you are all set up, I have heard people use opaque window tint to cover the back of the tank as well.

Yeah I never thought of that. Good idea.

Thank you for the advise...unfortunately it is all the stuff that is inside the tank that we are trying to hide.

vynal is also an option. Or do like I do and just wait for the back to be covered in coraline.
