Wet Dry help

[dragracer]

I posted in New Hobbyists, but I didn't get much help.....mainly because I worded my Q wrong. I am just having a terrible time with my Wet/Dry. I can't get it started(again). I just can't seem to be able to siphon my water through the U tube. Anyone know any tricks? I just got it from a freind, I had it working last night, but since it was a new setup for me, I had horrible thoughts of something going wrong while I slept, so i turned it off. I have another filter going now, so the tank is not going unfiltered. But now, I can't for my life restart it!!

any tricks?

Do you have any slender air line tubing? I use that if you have an overflow box. Push the tubing through the u tube so you can suck and start the syphon.

Id push the tubing about halfway up the U tube with the overflow box filled on both sides that should do it?
