So I've just got an allpondsoloutions ef1000 external filter 1000 litre(250gal)/hr, the filter seems to be outputting water but the pipe for in
flow doesn't look like it has anything in it, I've tried turning off and setting up and priming the filter a few times but nothing seems to help
is that normal? it sucks in a lot of water for a few seconds then shows nothing in, and when i put my hand around the filter it doesn't seem to be pulling any small particles around it, the tank is only 3 weeks old, it's a 35 gallon reef tank and I'm not sure if i should get another pump in and keep it in or will that ruin the cycle?
