Is it just not powering up or what? If its not getting any power then you may just need to buy a new filter. If the filter is new maybe they have a warranty.
Have you tried filling it with water and plugging it back in? Does it make any noise when you have it plugged in? Have you tried removing the impeller and reseating it?
I'm hoping you also have a powerhead or two in the tank. They're essential in a saltwater setup; a filter is less necessary in a tank with live rock.
That filter should have a warranty...if it won't work for sure, go to your LFS and ask for an exchange. Also, do you have a live reef in there? What else should people know about the tank and setup?

i do have it filled with water, but it just sits there, when i plug it in, nothing happens....and im going to try to take it apart tomorrow and reseating the impeller, we'll see what happens...

update...instead of taking the one i had apart and trying to fix it, i ended up going to animal jungle and bought a new fliter, its a Tetra Whisper Power Filter, Model 20 much better, and it seems to work better than the old one too
hmmmm I guess you haven't done a lot of reading of the stickies at the top of this forum or any other books for that matter? You really don't need a filter as your live rock provides the filtration for your tank......provided you have live rock? hopefully you are only planning on keeping fish.

I don't know if that would be best for him. Maybe look for a LFS that will take him in or maybe let you trade him for something there or store credit or something.
Dont release anything back into the wild . it could cause a outbreak . of some thing forign be added to a eco system that cant support it , or will overtake a certain area . just take it to a lfs and give it to them if they wont give you credit .
