[AquaticLife] Starting new aquarium - Question on filter
Hi Erik,
If I recall correctly the Aqua-Tech is a “Walmart” filter based on a Marineland filter(Correct me if I am wrong). If you take the intake tube with you to a pet store, hopefully a fish store is near you, you should be able to find an extension.
If that is not an option or they do not have one you can order one online. http://www.bigalsonline.com/StoreCatalog/ctl3684/cp18677/si1382239/cl1/marineland_penguin_1_extension_tube_with_coupling?&path=c3684-def-USD-16695%23%23-1%23%23-1%7E%7Eq6d6172696e656c616e64%7E%7Ec3684-def-USD-18645%23%23a%23%234e%7E%7Enc3684-def-USD-18677%23%230%23%231u&query=marineland&offset=20
If the above link does not work, it is from BigAlsOnline.com $2.99 plus shipping, comes with the adpater to connect the new tube with your current tube.
Or as I like to do go buy a piece of tubing that will fit the tube you have.. Fish shops and some pet stores will carry clear plastic tubing for use in aquariums. They start as small as an airline to sometimes and inch or more.. If they sell these see if one of them will fit over or inside your intake tube. If it does it may not fit the strainer part or the filter. If this is the case you can cut your intake tube in half, and then add a piece the desired length in the middle. If it is not quite snug you can use teflon tape http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&q=teflon+tape to make a snug fit. People use teflon tape for sponge filter parts that do not remain tight and tend to seperate.

I am new to this hobby. I have 10 gallon tank, with a 5-15 Aqua-Tech Powe filter. I was wondering if they sold a extension tube to extend the intake deeper into the tank.
