Yep Eheim makes good vanes (or taps) - take a look into their site you may even find pictures.
The system is based on Koolance setup:
(V=tap)
Code:
   IN      OUT
    |      |
    V1     V2
    |      |
 <--T--V3--T--<
To fill the system:
-close V3
-open v1 and v2
-use a basin (or an airtrap, see below)
-suck the output pipe until water comes up
-a good idea is to put IN above and OUT below the system....
To bleed the system:
-Open v1 and V2, v3 closed
-switch on the pump
-wait a few minutes
-open v3
- wait
-close v1 and v2
-switch off the pump
-close IN and OUT (with corks or anything that can seal em)

Ah also, look at Turbokeu's setup (below in that forum). IN and OUT are connected to an air trap in his wonderful setup.
