Hi All

I need your valuable help - I encountered a problem that I need to rectify so far I have tried 3 times and been to the LFS twice today.

I have a new airpump which is the strongest that I could find - it has 2 outlet valves - which i would like to change into 1 that will run my 1 metre long air curtain.

Now problem - I have purchased at great expense top of the range bleeders at $5 a pop - t valves and more airhose.

I attached a piece of airhose to each of the air outlet valves - then attached a bleeder to each ( to ensure that I dont blow the thing up ) and then attached more airpipe to the bleeders then a t valve.

this then changes it from 2 airlines - to 1 airline which I then attached to the check valve and then the rest of the air curtain that was already in my tank ( which was run on a smaller airpump but didnt produce in my opinion enough bubbles ).

But now it dont work!! I even took off the bleeders and just attached the 2 pipes from the valves on the pump to a t valve and straight up and onto the airpipe - even removed the check valve.

Nothing works It is blowing a huge amount of air but i cannot get it to move up the line into the **** tank.

Please someone help me there is nothing on the internet in regards to this
 
Is there pressure at the outlet? It will still shoot air out if the pump is ruptured, hold a finger over each outlet and see if you feel pressure. If not the pump is junk.
