i got one of these filters for my little 3 gallon tank from aquaessentials. thing is, the little motor doesnt have enough power to suck water up the intake tube so i cant get it working.... anyone help please?
try filling it with water using a cup or jug. It needs water in the chamber above the motor inorder to start working. Fill both chambers and see if it starts working
Hmn, interesting. Is your water level high enough? They Mignon usually have a small marker on the side to indicate where the water level needs to be in order to get the syphoning action going.

I just remembered that my Mignon 240 (or whatever) has a dial on the top to restrict flow. I pressume, if it has one, that this is set to allow max flow?
Also, check to see if there are any air leaks between the pipes that are out of the water.
I'd also try filling both chambers, but continue to fill it while it's running, to see if you can stimulate it into life!
