Can't get siphon back!

I am near the end of my 55g to 75g switch and I can't get the siphon back on my overflow. It's a single HOB overflow. Their is water in both sides. Problem is when I insert the airline tubing and start to suck to get my siphon all I get is a mouth full of salt water.

This is probably something easy, something I am just forgeting.

Thanks!

 

Like I said, it was something easy. Figured it out no prob.

 

Try hooking it to a powerhead, putting the powerhead in the sump and run the PH while you move the airline to get the air bubble out.

 

What was it?

 

I had the small airline in the u-tube to far in. It was touching the other side of the overflor box. I pulled it out more, gave a big suck and it started right up.

Man I feel dumb! But, I had been working on getting everything switched over for several hours and wasn't thinking clearly.

 

Sorry I missed the post but I am glad you got it figured out. Do you have pics of the new tank setup or did I miss it also. LOL

 

I will have some pics up tomorow in the show off your tank thread. Busy cleaning up tonight.

 

Ahhhh yes the fatigue brain freeze. Works every time. Congrats on switching over in such a short time. Sorry to here about the firefish. Hopefully I won't forget to cover my bucket when I switch over to my 75.
