top fin 20 Gal filter not flowing water or just dripping *fix*

quick written instructions make sure the filter is unplugged, as being plugged in below the fill line will create a horrendous noise and cause damge to the filter. make sure the filter hose is extended into the tank fill the fish tank to the minimum fill line for the top fin filter not above and not under make sure the filter housing is full of water plug in the filter an wait for the air bubbles to cease pour in water at a large volume (i use a 3 gallon bucket) till you reach your fish tanks prefered maximum if the filter flow starts to drip, you should have full flow within a couple hours
