    You can get longer cables at Radioshack for $5.00.

    You can get them anywhere. They are just headphone jacks.

    This is good to know since I will also be needing them to be longer than the stock cables.

    Here are two over a 5 foot tank. I turned both business ends towards the middle. If I were to add a third which I have no intention of doing I would need a longer cable for the third one.

    These were taken thge first day they were installed and I'm still playing with the colors and times! It's actually a lot of fun and has renewed my interest in the tank.
