So I started building a canister filter a few weeks back and I fianlly finished it today. It works well at pumping out the water, clearing 250 ml in around 10 seconds.
My issue is that the pump isn't sucking the water back in through the other tube. I used this article here for inspiration.

I adapted it slightly to include two canister to make it easier to remove and also to give me more space for filtration and bacteria to grow.
Here are some pictures of the setup at present:
Help would be appreciated and I just want to get it up and running so I can start planting and cycling!
