anyway to connect 2 aqueon water changers?

[allaboutfish]

i have two and i really need a way to connect them.

For the length?

I bought the extension and it comes with a thing to connect them. You might be able to get that somewhere. It is pretty much a double sided barb fitting. Like what the hose connects to at either end, but double sided.

Or do you mean like 2 gravel vacs to one valve or 2 valves to one gravel vac?

 

[allaboutfish]

i mean that i want the extra length of both. so putting together the 2 tubes.

That will make the suction power go down as the hose gets longer...

no bc the reason i want it longer is so i can do water changes on my 55s with it. theyre upstairs so the suction goes up bc of how steep the stairs are.

The extension coupling comes with the extension kit but I do not believe it is sold separately.

As an alternative you could get a 1/2" insert x insert connector at any hardware store and a couple of stainless steel worm clamps and make your own. It will be a lot more secure than the Aqueon extension coupler but will be more difficult to separate if you need to.

I think Andy's approach is a good one.

Another option would be to use a the couplings from Python or Lee's to attach the two hoses. I think all the brands use the same hose diameters.

they can also be found in garden sections of loacl hardware stores..I found them at Wallyworld

Actually my petsmart sells the extension for about 13$ its Aqueon. Its sold seperately I know for sure. Seen it online also.
