I was gonna wire the filter in but then i thought about it and decided not to. The filter has to come out when i change the carbon and filter pad. If the plug was behind the foam i wouldnt be able to change it. When i did my 37gal viv i ran all the piping behind the foam and it looks great. The only difference is on my 37gal im running a small canister filter. Thanks for the good words tho
