This Fluval 304 I have would not start/restart to save the world. Is there some kind of procedure I should go through other than the one in the manual? I prime it, turn it on, nothing happens (most of the time). The only time I started it was when it was on and I sucked through the "out" pipe till water started flowing out. This seems to nolonger work anymore. It's a used filter, not brand new... Thanks for the help in advance.
Fluval 304 help needed...(Geting frustrated)

- Start date
Be certain you hooked the input and output lines right -- if you crossed it, it will not ever start
Look to see if connections are leaking, check each part of tubing
Be sure that there are no loops in the lines, particularly input line, that trap air, very hard to pull that air down into the filter and out the output line so unit stalls
Be sure that impeller cover is locked in place, if it is loose, there is no way for impeller to push water up to tank on output
