I have a CPR CS90 overflow witha tom's aqua lifter installed. Never had issues with it before but this morning I turned the system off to make some adjustments to my standpipe (wasn't getting enough waterflow). I turn the system back on and suction isn't being created at all. I can't seem to get it started back. Any tips advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Check the nipple the aqualifter is hooked up to. I remember back in the day when I had one the nipple would plug up and suction would stop...
Use a small drill bit to ream it out and hook it back up..
Let us know the outcome..

I checked the aqua lifter and it was working so maybe the nipple is clogged. I had to leave and wont be back for a week so we just hooked the HOB filter back up. Dont think my GF wants to try fixing it alone lol.
