Problem priming pump
I recently got a Rena filstar xp1 pump from my brother in law with all the parts included. I got the adapters to step the hose down from the 3/4th's to the 3/8th's my old pump used since the hoses are already drilled thru the GS background etc.
I am having the hardest time ever to get the pump running, I just can't get the system to prime without the aquarium style intake that came with the pump.
My current intake hose is opend ended (took the basket at the end off to try and work with this) and at the bottom of my tank so I can't fill the intake hose with water like it says to do in the instructions.
Anyone ever converted one of these for terrarium use before or worked with one at all? My water area is only like 2 inches deep but I have a FB so it cover the entire bottom of the 75gal tank.
