Need help asap

[edibug1]

hey everyone, now that I have your attention, I need some help in setting up my viv, because my dad will trash it If I don't get it set up today. My prob is that my small pump (mini jet, I believe) won't work. the pump is about 3" high, but the intake is only an inch or two from the bottom. originally, dirt would mess it up, but now I have wrapped a filter pad around it. that solved that prob, but now the pump starts to eject tons of tiny bubbles into the water, as if it isn't getting enough. what do I do? the hydroball are 2 or 3 inches up, and are surrounding the pump. HELP! thanks.

why is he throwing it out if you dont finish it today!? thats, IMO, really dumb...

tell him you need another week to set it up properly...

OR...

put some dirt in, a couple fake plants, wait a week or so and say you need to rebuild it

yea, it's cause it's been in the process of being built for awhile and "I have to many tanks already". I came up to a holdup and he's tired of it taking up space.
