I just picked up 2 whisper 20-40 filters for my new fry tanks. I cant get either of them to start pumping. I set the first one up with a foam intake. I thought maybe that was holding it back so I tried without it. Nope. I filled the well like I was supposed to, tried changing the impeller assembly, even tried the 2nd unit. I am at a loss. Oh, and yes it has power - I can hear it trying to pump. Has anyone had any problems with these filters, or have any suggestions?
 
the tube might be sucking air in from one of the extension connections, if one of those connections are above water, fill it past the connection
