AC110 intake extension tube?

[JL]

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 problem w/ your idea is that the pick up is not that strong w/ the pipe extension unless it's a shallow tank. The pick up will work at the fork and that's about it. Just use a power head to move the water to the pick up.

Here's a better shot............

Off topic, buy very nice setup, it's very clean looking and the water looks amazingly clear.

I see what you mean. Krylon fusion does not stick past an algae reading? Clean as hell setup BTW. Kinda reminds me of a fish store though.

thinking of reducing to 1/2" so the suction power is not diminished in my proposed 3way intake. what do you think?

That may work but I can't guarantee it. Try it, you can always change it as long as you don't glue the pieces, which is not needed.

Nah, i took no offense. That's just how I do tanks for ease of cleaning and more swimming room for feeeeesh. Nothing real eye pleasing as far as scaping but the fish like it and I'm over scaping.
