Hey guys,

I don't know if im incorrectly priming the filter or what is happening, but the only way I can get water to flow is into a bucket under tank level (near the ground). Once I lift the output back into the tank, it no longer flows.
Is my tank sitting too high for the canister filter to work? I feel like it should have enough power to flow water up the tube.

This is my first canister filter, so im sure im doing something wrong.

Please help!

EDIT: I also just lifted the filter closer to the bottom of the tank, hoping it would help. No dice. Still no water flow!
 
i had a canister filter and found out i never worked for my tank , i know it sucks but if it won't work the best thing is to buy a new one.
