Hi there, can anyone suggest how I can either get just an extension tube or a DIY? mine is in a 72gal BF so the intake tube is the standard size & only goes down a 1/3 of the depth.

$5 each is kind of pricey, I didn't shop around though...
A DIY version can be done by finding the right size hose or pipe and plugging it in... The more work you put into it the less ugly it will become...

Your AC110 should have come with an extra tube that slides over the other one. If not, you're gonna have to shell out the $5.
I used a short length of 3/4" PVC to extend mine. You need a 3/4" PVC slip coupling to go over the J-tube of the AC 110 and then use some teflon tape wrapped around the 3/4" PVC pipe to connect the strainer section. Paint the PVC if you want.
Nice work! I like how you got the holes drilled looks magnificent. If I may comment it would look sweet painted to the background color. Nice Aro's too im impressed!JLau;3324964; said:Here's my extension. Keeps the bottom super clean.

Im gonna extend mine down as well I feel like with only one adapter its kind of circulating the same water it just filtered. I do have my fluval 405 outlet blasting sideways through the flow though

thks, looks great. I am thinking of putting in a 3way (left right & toward the front). will let you all know if I succeed. thks again!
The only reason I do not paint my PVC is because I find it peels easily when cleaning algae. Not as clean a look but my tanks are bare, just fish and water.
