It looks like you have some air trapped in the line. That should go away once your pump is turned on.

The chiller should drop your tank temperature slowly over an hour or so. Then you will know it is working. Be sure to always have water circulating through the chiller when it is running!
 
I've turned on the pump but theres no water dripping down the pipe, is this normal? I can hear the pump vibrating once in awhile but doesnt seem like its working

Remove your pump and test it in a bucket or tub to be sure it is working properly. Until you have flow established, turn off the chiller.
