My Hydor pump is exactly like that. The impeller spins but it won't push water unless it sucks air first. Doesn't seem to be a heat/cooling issue .. I'm not sure why it's like that.

One of the sedra pumps that feeds a euro-reef skimmer at the shop does that...we have to stick a finger in the input briefly and that seems to kick start it. Might be worth a try.

Well i never took the pump back because it started being normal. maybe it just had to break in?

Also went out and spent the rest of my bday money and bought a nice gold maxima and got a 2 for 1 florida ric at OA. 2 for 1 coral!... I dont think any reef person in there right mind could pass that up.

Will take some picteres later if im not to lazy to bust out the camra.
