What does your "tool" you use to install the couplings look like?
Here are a few pics from my tool!

Here the solution! Lamp rods from brass are not really good for assembling more than two or more tanks.

You can drill out the center of a large nylon bolt you can get the same results. If you make several of them you can put them in a star pattern and get more air flow.
