A lot of people use sumps to hold all the equipment, and that way all that's 
in the tank is an overflow of some sort and a spray bar, and usually tall 
plants are positioned so as to hide those two devices as much as possible. I 
think some people pull hardware out before taking pictures too. And some 
people don't use much (I have some tanks that have *only* a submersible 
heater in the tank, since I don't use any power filters in most of my 
tanks). 

As for the volume of info, make sure to check out the krib at

90's.
