ok as i can see you have no media in the back.
turn on the pump and let everything move like that. without anything in the back, if its running good then add the chaeto slowly. if the water is not going over its cause you need water to top off.

I tried the topping off thing and the pump ate up the water, spit it back into the tank and then had no more water :( and was sucking air....gosh these words aren't the best to use

then do this. buy a maxi-jet 1200 which are amazing pumps. and add water so that both side are full to the top. do it now. if you can. add water to the top on both side. well almst to the top.

Could it be because I don't have the water filled to the tippy top- like the max level- I am about 2-3 inches below that because of the lr I will be adding tomorrow.
