Most are self priming if the destruction manual is read correctly and all the tubes go to the right places there should be no prob
Is it sited about 4/6 inches from its top to the bottom of the tank ?

Its alright, I bought it new off of Amazon... I had to buy another one but they are sending it 1 day and emailed me a return label.
You realize that because of the way your life works, the snow storm will cause a delay. BTW I think we are sharing a life!

OK so I set up this canister filter...but I got a swishing noise and other random noises... I thought these things were suppose to be silent and I would have to check to see if it was even working... sadly I don't have that problem, I hear it just fine.... I tried tilting the thing back and forth hoping to bet whatever air out but...nodda...Any pointers? I would like to live in this Silent Canister World BUT I need your help... everyone I know uses UGF's so I NEED your help please...

When I hooked up my canister for the first time it did samething but after a couple of hours it calmed down and got really quite. I hope it gets better for you, but I think it's because it's a first time use thing.
Oh its quite worse than that because of my luck with buying things, there is actually something wrong... it has to be a bad seal within the canister though... all the connections are air tight and even with my canister primed and filled completely within about 5 hours I will have 1 inch of air on the top of the canister... and within a half inch of air (2.5 hours)... my inlet spews air bubbles...
Alright... the new one came in and after a couple of time to fill it air tight, we are good to go....
Air line for air pump in basement... my room you hear NOTHING, EXCEPT BUBBLES!!!!
WoW on Quiet/Silent... if it wasn't in my cabinet I would hear it a little bit...

I can't hear my SunSun at all the only noise it makes is the ripples caused by the spray bar on top.
Same with my Fluval... the ripples on top are the only thing I hear.

So you guys are telling me it just looks like a canister sitting there and absolutely no noise is coming from it?

Well... I am not happy about this...you would think this would be silent as well especially coming from API...So you guys are telling me it just looks like a canister sitting there and absolutely no noise is coming from it?
My head has to be within 2 feet of it to hear it... maybe less. The only time I've ever heard it is when I'm on the floor reaching in to do something with it. I don't even hear it when I'm standing right on top of the tank putting in new plants or whatever.

Yes my sunsun is dead silent. The motor makes no noise that I can hear anyway.

AND what about shortening a hose? Do you have to do it OR leaving it will be just fine?

Because I was looking for actual flow rates... watts... and actual manufacturer... in which I still can't find the manufacterer website
Fairly certain this is a situation where unnamed manufacturer makes canister filters for Eheim, SunSun, Jebao, etc etc etc
There is a good chance their website is a Chinese website and we can't find it due to language.
Is just like for years, if you bought a manufactured computer it was all foxconn or asus parts inside. Branded HP or Gateway or whatever on the out.
