Bought a Rio 240 last night which came with an ATMan UltraJet UJ-3338 external filter. Unfortuantely it didn't come with any manual. Has anyone had any use of this type of filter, how do I prime it? Is it easy to use?

Looking forward to aquascaping soon, with help from you guys.

Can't find much info on those filters, but what I did find seems to indicate that they are traditional external filter.

If the filter doesn't have a priming pump (usually some large-ish "button" on the top of the filter), it's a case of sucking the hose - either with your mouth [make sure you have a suitable spitting vessel nearby, should you get some water in your mouth], or you can buy suction balls (a rubber "ball" with a nozzle that fits onto the hose, and a valve to let the air out).

Once primed, it should run by itself.
