Default Fogger Question

Am wanting to add a fogger to my viv/waterfall build. Looking at the walmart type on a timer with the piping mod/hose or rigid pvc piping into the tank. Am wondering how to do this with the exo terra screen top? Do I need to cut the screening to get the hose into the tank? Also worried about how this would look coming into the tank from the top in front of the BG?

cutting the screen would be the easiest way. drilling the tank would look nicer. if i could i would have it come out from the b/g instead of in front of it.

Ya, I'm seriously considering drilling the back with 2 x 1" bulkhead fittings for the fogger supply and the in/out for my canister filter to the waterfall/aquarium. Was considering having an internal filter in my initial thoughts (similar to Grimms design), but am strongly leaning towards an external canister.
