Hi, i have just bought a fluval 305 which was cycled when i got it of the previous owner. However i have ran into some problems, not the first time ive had problems with fluval cannisters. The filter is completely emptied of water, so just to be sure, i follwed the step by step guide on the internet on how to install it and setup etc.. Please see this link. CLICK ME!!!
The problem is that where it says begin to prime the system using the pump thing, nothing happens, and no water is being drawn into the filter, as it says thats what should happen. Ive pumped the little prime pump thing for at least 5-10mins NON-STOP, and still nothin other than a tiny bit of water movement coming out of the outake. It is really frsutrating me, i have been at it all day, and ive searched all over the net top try and find some causes and ways to fix etc..
After all this i know for a fact that it wil just be something basic which i am completely overlooking hopefully not though. Has anybody had the same experience, any ideas?
Help very much appreciated
