Wait I'm retarded that is the output!!! It does fill up but from where.. at the bottom I know but I hope I can attach tubing to it...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by intake tube. The black tube on the top is the outflow. This style of pump has no intake "tube" the back side of the pump unit is screened off so to speak and the water is pulled directly through the unit itself. I can see no way to hook up an extension to it. With some creative modifications you might be able to get something to work.

I think what you are trying to get at is that the extended intake tube would go into the false bottom and draw water from there. If this is correct then it would not go through the filters at all. The way the filter works as is is that water is drawn into the unit from access holes to the outside of the filters (extreme left and right sides) and pumped up the tube where it trickles down the outside. This is how the filters work. If I am not mistaken though there is also a hole or two in the front of the unit so that the pump can draw directly from the water reservoir and this water does not get filtered. It is one of the few drawbacks to this unit. 100% of the water is not filtered.

I'm not sure who is more retarded. You for not knowing it was the output or me for not reading the entire thread to find out that you realized that before I posted. I my defense it was on page two. I'm sure by now you realize that you can't hook a tube up to it.

I thought of one way to get it to work (maybe) but I am not a fan of putting pumps under false bottoms (to hard to get at if they plug up) and this type of pump needs to be submerged to work. If you want my idea email me and I will try to describe it. It involves drilling a couple of new holes in the filter and plugging a few others.
