Hello all.
Can someone please help me with this situation. I bought this canister filter a few months back while buying things for my 75 gal tank. Finally due to back issues I finally was able to set things up. Everything was setup properly . As I tried to use the prime button. It worked for a short time now the flow rate light lights up every so often but the pump will not work. Does not even prime or anything. Any help will be appreciated thankyou.
 
I'm guessing you're getting a vapor lock or air bubble stuck somewhere the "prime" button won't get rid of. I'd suggest looking on line for videos realted to priming your particular filter.

(Just as an aside, I've never met a canister fiter that won't have problems with vapor locks or leaking o-rings sooner or later, always double check everything when you clean them and restart them.)
