Elight, thanks for answering!
To "prime" is exactly the issue I was asking. I'm using 1/4" tubing and I"m not sure how to prime the lines to work as a "siphon" if that was the idea...

Anyways, I've been studying your picture and it seems like you have your connection point super low, like lower than the overfill hole. Why is that?

I have an idea to simply push the "leg/stem" of my barbed-T connection into a hole higher than the overfill hole and have that fill my reservoir. I wonder if it would work...
