Ok i got a piece-o-crap canister filter. It was free off craigslist so i figured why not? anyway, i have NEVER owned a canister before, so i am completely clueless as to how to operate it or how they work. It is a Marineland Magnum 350 convertible canister filter (i think 5 or 6 years old) whatever that means. I tried putting turning it on (testing it out with a 5 gallon bucket) but couldn't seem to make it work. It started working once, but then i unplugged it and water started spewing out the sides like it was siphoning the water down out of the bucket. Also it came with a white little cylinder that i assumed went into the middle of the filter, but i won't fit in perfectly, it is kinda tight to get in so i left it out.
Can somebody help me make heads or tales of this? it might just be too old...?
