How do i start up my fluva 305 external filter after a water change?

ive done a water change on my fish tank and i gave the filter a clean, ive watched the video that came with the filter/tank, it says to let the filter fill up with water then plug it in, but mine only fills half way.



HELP!How do i start up my fluva 305 external filter after a water change?Theres a little grey pump tab on top, sticking out next to where the hoses connect to the canister itself. It's about the size of a quarter. You pump that sucker up and down until no more air bubbles come out of the hoses, and then flip it back on.

sucking not working nah?How do i start up my fluva 305 external filter after a water change?Just put one hose in the tank and suck on the other one until it is full, thats what i always do.
