HI, I have been in process of setting up 100 gal tank... sand is in, water has been in for days and I have had nothing but trouble getting filter to work. I have a Cascade 1000 canister filter. Due to me hooking things up wrong first go around..I cut hose to short. I bought some vinyl tubing from Ace hardware to replace. I only had to replace the in hose. The tubing is much thicker and harder than original but it fits. I have primed and primed and waited. I have filled the filter up with tank water manually as well. Question on filter IN and OUT.. Is "IN" water going in to filter and OUT water going out of filter or vise versa?? when I prime I can see my clear replacement hose on the in valve filling up from filter. Makes me think I have it backwards. UGH From cutting hose too short to one of my glass top lids falling it and a piece breaking off, I am frustrated! I have called Penn-Plax a few times and only get a recording. Thank You
