For AIO tanks (like the Red Sea Mex E 170) where do folks place Powerheads?

It seems you can't get the clean look, like on a non AIO one, where the Powerhead(s) are positioned on the back panel of the tank and wires nicely managed on the outside. I didn't see a lot of discussion on the general topic for the E 170 but maybe wasn't searching correctly:

Thanks!
 
I have seen them on the back wall, you could run a gyre pump vertically which would give great flow and on the back wall.

Let see if we can get some answers

I started with the 170 and when I had it I put one on the back and one up front. There isn't a really good way to hide the cords or the powerheads so I just dealt with it. I did use the wavelink ones by innovative marine so they were not too intrusive.
