This leads me to believe mine is definately faulty, or I am doing something very wrong. Xray what am I doing wrong? I am priming it as I would my eheims and they go straight away

Xray said he filled it entirely with water in the sink first.
I'm not sure how an eheim is primed, but I know I don't have to fill the marineland canister up much at all for it to work.

Its alivvvvveeeeeee. Took it apart once more, reconnected and whoosh, however still taking in a little air, should i worry? Once working they are awesome. Thanks for helping me through this guys.

A hint I read on another site to priming is to fill the canister up before you try and prime it. I just filled mine up in the sink then put the top on and connected everything. Worked great.

+1 for Eheims too.

I just attached the intake i constructed out of redundant Eheim parts and wow, why didnt i do this in the first place. My gut instinct was to use my own but i thought no. So in summary good product but rubbish intake, i could not get it airtight but with a cheap modification its a piece of cake.

Awesome, glad to hear yours is working well now.

And I agree with your idea. good product with crappy intake and outlet. Well worth the money to me

If you get a 2" piece of eheim hose and an eheim intake tube tube and strainer it just pushes together perfectly and works amazing. All you use is the curved part from the sun sun.

how do you have your return?

Just using the out the box return at mo, however I am working on something for that also lol

LOL, pics of your final set up

I just took the spray bar off and its doing great

At work will post pics when I get home for you xray.

cool

Ok xray run through many prototype ideas in my head but stuck with simple and effective lol. Pics not great im afraid but added one of rock formation just for fun lol

Pics are really small but i think I get the idea, thanks
