My new TMC 600 Signature turned up today, cabinet and all.
I have a very small problem as I don't know what to do about the filter pipes. Theres an opening at the back of the cabinet for them to go through which would be fine if I was mounting the inlet/outlet on the back, but I plan on having them on the side of the tank and I don't want to have to make the pipes bend. I'd rather drill some holes and have them coming out of the side if that makes sense:
I know I'm being very pedantic, but I'm sure there are others just like me and want their tank looking the best it can. I'd like it to look as neat as possible, even if it means buying a desk grommet or something similar to make things look tidy.
I was thinking I could cut some vertical lines ND aquatics style but I'm concious this would make the cabinet even less sound proof than it already is, it's in my bedroom and my filter isn't the quietest.
Has anyone modified their cabinet in this way or could they recommend a way to achieve the best results?
Thanks in advance.
