OK, well I really don't see how filling it from the "T-Line" is going to be any different. The thing is, there are NO bubbles when I start/stop pump underwater. The bubbles only appear after I've sealed/removed it from water and then STOP and RESTART the pump. This is what makes no sense to me....I can stop/start pump a billion times underwater and it doesn't bubble. However as soon as I close the loop and remove it from the water and stop/start the pump, it goes all kinds of bubbly.
BTW--I have the water in my "T-Line" half way full...its the highest point of water in the system.
Could the pump be sucking in air? I have a 90 degree elbow on the suction side of the Eheim 1250 so I can run the cpu exit tube directly onto the top of the suction plug, and not have to bend it. Could it be sucking in air from there? It has a rubber O-ring seal and isn't leaking so I am doubtful, but the first time I filled it, I let it run ALL NIGHT and when I woke up it was perfect. Then I stopped/started pump and mad bubbles came up again. WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?? ARGHHH!!
Please help if you have ANY ideas or comments....
Thanks,
