My penguin bio-wheel 200 filter is not pumping water?
I've read this is a common problem but this is driving me insane! It's brand new but when i installed it i read it has to be primed so i filled it up then plugged it in, nothing. The empeller is making a rattling noise. So i tried lowering th water in the tank, nothing. I tryed manually primimng it by letting the empeller spin and adding water to it and at first i thought it was working cause water came flowing but then it would just reverse, all the water went out the intake tube. Can anyone please help me all the filters ive had in the past were self priming. I'm about to throw it agaisnt a wall, i need to begin cycling my tank ASAP.
