Hiding Powerheads

I would like to set up my tank with as little equipment in it as possible, I'm planning on putting the skimmer and heater in the sump. Does anyone have a good way to hide powerheads or any other ideas to remove these from the aquarium. I want to keep good water movement.

I was thinking about that too- if I put my powerhead down behind a piece of rock and run a piece of black pcv or even tubing (I have a black background) "up" with an elbow on the top, then the pump would be hidden and the black cord and pipe would blend pretty well against the background.
As long as the PH isn't buried so you can get to it and clean it, I don't see why this wouldn't work, plus it would have the added benefit of drawing water up from the bottom and improve circulation.
