I need to find extension cords for level sensor, for leakage sensor and for Tunze turbelles.

What's the longest cable you guys have and also can I daisy-chain one extension cord to another?
I have around 75 feet or approx 25 meters distance between P3 and display tank.
Thanks.

Hello,

please have a look here:

25m is defnitely a too big distance, another option would be to use an Expansion Box (PAB-cables available with 30 and even 50m).

I do have an expansion box.....does that means I have to connect the sensors I am looking to use at that distance TO THE EXPANSION BOX then the extension to the P3?

Yes. This is due the PAB cable can be much longer than sensor cables.
