They can be attached to each other, but I can't figure out how to space them apart in the tank. I want to put one in back and one closer to the front. I tried one of the bendable ones, and I don't like it. They keep floating up.

You may find yourself disappointed if you put one of the bubblers in the front. It will create a wall of bubbles that will make whatever is behind the bubbles difficult to see. Anyway, because you only have one outlet on your filter dissipator, you will need a splitter. You will need to attach one length of tubing to the filter dissipator, then attach the single side of the splitter to the other end of that piece of tubing, then attach two lengths of tubing to each outlet on the double side of the splitter, then run each separate piece of tubing to each bubble bar.

well the bendable ones will come with a weight that you will sink them in your gravel and it will stay, to create two bubble bars and you want to space them out then you have to get a Y-connector and you will run the main air line down the side of your tank or however you have them set up, connect the Y-connector at the bottom of the tank and cut two air lines to the distance you will need and attach them to the bubble bar, the other way is to grab a multi valve whigh you will be able to connect two or more air lines and run two air lines to your bubble bar, either way both will work, if you cant find a Y-connector you can find them at home depot, just bring a tube in and ask an associate that you need a Y-connector that will fit the tubbing you have

Around here these bubble walls are fairly cheap. I would suggest getting a gang valve for your air pump to turn 1 hose into 2, and use 2 smaller bubble walls.
