I recently installed a Drip feed system and when I try to use it it doesnt really pump any water out its like it pumps air into the system with little water coming out. I use these two pumps and this connector.

Try pushing your air hoses down farther into the tubes, sounds like they may not be going below surface of water enough. If that doesn't make sense, post a picture of your set up because maybe I'm thinking of the something different.

I can agree with one thing about this thread. Aquarium shops are a great place to score hydro equipment.
