i See some water in the tubes, with the ocassional Air spaces when i started pouring the watter into the resevoir, but the watter just stopped moving and everything there is stagnant, nothing moving but the pump is on. can it be bcause of too much curves? or because i'm using a old power supply? help please i'm using the modefied eheim pump form aqua,
i would use my 500 wat power supply but i duno how to mod it so it runs off the power supply its self

actually its as if the aqua pump is not sucking water at alll, although i do hear the pump on.
 
I used a 250w pump on my new WC kit to test it and it didnt cut it, had to switch to my 480w enermax. use the 500w PSU. To do the wire trick, get a paper clip, straighten it out and then bend it like 30 degrees. Find two of the pins on the side of the ATX plug where the clip is, towards the left side if ur elooking right at it, just try two random pins next to eachother on that top row until you get it...
 
got it working, i had to siphon/suck out all the bubbles out of the system, then it worked.

Use the green wire and any black wire to turn the PSU on when the PSU MB cable is not attached to the MB. And a paperclip is what I use. :)

lemmy...never ever hook an Aquastream up to any power other than to the 2 pin molex on the Aquastream controller! The Aquastream is not natively a 12 Vdc pump. The Aquastream controller converts the 12 Vdc voltage into 9 Vac voltage. The only exception is when you are using an Aquaero in which case you run the power to the Aquaero and the only connection to the Aquastream is through the 10 pin ribbon cable.
 
These pumps can not pump air, they have to be full of water BEFORE you turn them on.
