Man it's been forever since I bought this thing and now it's finally UP!
Funny story to start with. After filling the pump chamber up with water to make sure there were no leaks it I start the pump, I hear the water making its way up the pipe then.... NOTHING! No water came out. I was like whhhyyyyyy, then I thought about it. I just said eh maybe impeller is messed up. Fill my overflow box with water to make sure it doesn't leak. Well the water doesn't even flow down to the sump! WWHHHHYYYYYY AGAIN!
Now.... I think to myself 'what's going on?'. It hits me....
I had just finished painting the back of my tank that day. I remember doing this too....
I taped inside the union!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAHHHHHHHHH!!!! haha
Not a big deal, fixed it![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Also used some stained glass in my sump! haha
All the water I had for today, but will be full tomorrow!
