    How do you set this up (the manual is not very helpful)? Everything is in place but how do i get the air hose to connect to the air valve and start the siphoning process?? ANy easy instructions or help would be kindly appreciated.

    The little white valve is simply screwed into the top of the gray overflow like cup tha sets inside the aquarium then the air line simply connects to the compression nut and then a short section of 1/4 tubing is used to start the siphon that connects to the inlwt of the air pump to suck the air out to get it started . Once started to siphon allow it to run and adjust it to the best level you can may take a few days of tewaking and adjusting the air inlet . They work pretty much like the CPR back Pac's
