Sooo I went to clean my canister filter and well I wasn’t prepared for how much water came out lol. But that’s not my problem. My problem is getting it to pump again back into the tank. I prime it and it starts going and then it stops pumping..... what do I do!!! I have a secondary filter so the fish will be ok for now. I tried to burp it still didn’t work for long maybe 10 seconds. I really don’t want to have to buy a new one!

Update lol I walked away from it with it still on coz I forgot to unplug it and I was stressing out but it’s now pumping normal.....tank is super cloudy right now but I’m sure it will clear up in a few hours...not sure what happened but maybe some insight will help... for next time!
