I just set up my new Pro Clear Aqua 125 w/d filter today. The last thing that I could not get the new filter to run is to siphon the U-Tube. I have tried to insert an air-tube half way through the U-Tube and tried to suck the air to siphon. But this technique is not working...how do you guys siphon yours. I have an E-shop prefilter box for my w/d filter. Are there any other tricks that you guy do to siphon. I need help...please help...
 
Stick the airtube higher than halfway and as the water rises from the suction, pull the airline with it. The more air you get out, the more water is flowing.

airline tube ftw
 
You have to have water covering both ends of the U shaped tube as well. Otherwise you're just pulling air from the dry end.

This technique works great...my new w/d filter is running now...this is the first time it is running and also, my first time ever using a w/d filter.

Thank you rallysman and everyone else for your week responses...

1) If you are going be be critical of the help people offer you, AT LEAST SPELL IT RIGHT

2) Weak responces? Next time figure it out yourself brain-child. If you were so smart, why couldn't you figure out simple siphoning?

A bit of advice, if you want to stick around, keep the garbage remarks to yourself.

I was in a hurry...I did not mean to say "weak responses". What I really meant to say is "quick responses"...it is just a typo...dont take it personally, man.

That is not my intentions to that kind of garbage remark. It is totally a typo and I am sorry.

No worries, I'm sure you can understand how that struck me.

Good luck
