Looking to slave a second cerbo gx for additional resistive tank inputs

I have two Cerbo GX units and am wondering if there is a specific way to configure the second (slave?) to show the tank inputs on the display connected to the first (main?) Cerbo.

The two units are connected via VE.Can (with a termination plug at both ends of the system), perhaps I should try VE.Bus?

The Touch 70 on the main shows a second device.

I turned on and configured the tank inputs on the slave by plugging in the Touch 70 into the slave.

Cannot figure out how to get the tanks plugged into the slave to show on the main unit.

@zachwinter if it just additional tank sensors required then the Victron USB tank sensor module which supports 4 additional tanks might be easier. If you really want to stick with two Cerbo's, then you need to make sure that the NMEA-2000 out feature is enabled to broadcast the tank data on teh CAN network, which the second Cerbo can then detect.

The tank140 does not provide resistive sensor inputs.
