I just got a Sun Sun canister filter. The instructions are very poor and not very specific at all. I was wondering if someone could walk me through the setup of how to put it together and then set it up in my tank.

I dont have pics, but I have 2 green tubes which go to the inflow and outflow obviously and then I've built the spray bar correctly I think and the output curvy bar. I'm not positive they are built right though. and then I dont know how to attach the green tubes. I'm lost lol.

Obviously a skilled translator :hmm3grin2orange: Let's hope he/she doesn't get as far as the UN :hmm3grin2orange:

Just one picture with all the bit laid out would help us help you. Or, give us the filter model number. I found very bad instructions for the Sun Sun 304B with integrated UV lamp, so I can understand why you are struggling LOL.

Here are the instructions for the HW-304B:

10351

This line is priceless: Notice! The curvy bar with spray bar is output curvy bar, and the curvy bar with dirtiness entrance is input curvy bar.

Do we all know know the difference between our curvy bars?

Sorry Sharkman...please model number indicate us so internet find manual help you.
