ok bros need help with canister

dunno how to pump as water level only rise bit when canister is empty

I am currently using a eheim 2028 canister

so how should I pump the water up to keep it running thanks bro

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

fill the canister with water,hook up the hose/pipings to the tank, use the self priming button to get rid of excess air trapped in the canister.

You got yourself a great canister!!!! Hurray. Its a Pro II canister.

Are you using the input with a surface extractor? If yes, then lower your surface extractor till its below water surface. Do the self priming as this canister comes with it.

If you are not using with a surface extractor, then it should not matter whether your canister is filled with water. DO NOT turn on your canister first. Do the priming and ensure that water flow into the canister. You should see air bubbles coming out from your output pipe. Once all the air been purge, that's the time you can turn the canister ON and start to Rock and Roll.

The easiest way is to turn on the canister then take the outlet tube, and suck on it until the canister starts flowing. :upsidedown:

Surface extractor is a passive device (no power needed) that can attached to your canister intake to take out surface water as well as tank water. Then it will flow thru you canister for Mechanical, chemical or / and Bio filtration. You can check out the eheim web site.

Of cos they do have other MIC (Made in China) brand that works as well. I prefer the MIC brand as it is easier to config and cheap. In short cheap and good.

Suck on it, yeah, suck on it. It's effective. *no pun intended*
