Are you taling about an overflow siphon tube? Just put a piece of air tube up in it and suck out the air.


_________

46 Gal bowfront - 350W MH - 65W PC Actinic -CS90 Skimmer - SQWD with locline outputs - 18G refugium RDP- 1/4 HP chiller - 2x96W PCs on sump a fuge for coral frags and macro.
It's an overcrowded home with a little of everything and 5 fish. Thank good the fuge and sump were built for something bigger.

Make sure both ends of the siphon tube are covered with water. If one isn't you'll just keep on sucking air.
