Time to conclude this thread
I was all ready to start this project and even gathered up what tools and materials I decided the best way to test the large siphon tube between the tanks was to install it prior to my next water change that way all I had to do was drain and refill one tank and let the new siphon tube take care of the second aquarium automatically
But just before I laid the saw to the ABS pipe I took one last look at my lone Electric blue male in one that and my 6 Goldies in the other aquarium when suddenly it hit me that I somehow overlooked a major obstical, even though it was so obvious. So obvious in fact that Im a little embarrassed to bring it up. The two twin 80 tanks I was planning to join using one FX5 filter, one tank is tropical and the other a cold water tank LOL, and while this would make no difference in the summertime here in SW AZ, in winter time the tanks are up to 15F different in temperature.
So anyway even though I am sure it would have worked, unless I decide to have another Goldie tank or give my golds away, the twin tanks will not be made Siamese tanks after all. The good news is I kept my Lowes receipt and got my $9 back for materials.
