Disassemble the skimmer pump and inspect the
components (impeller, impeller housing, inlet pipe,
bayonet connector, flow valve and air pipe).
Reassemble the pump, ensuring that the pieces are
securely attached, and that the inlet and outlet are
parallel.
Ensure that the double connectors are holding the cord
and air hose together.
Insert the outlet of the pump into
the inlet hole in the side of the
skimmer body (wetting the O–
ring will make it easier to
perform this operation). Make
sure that the pump is pushed in
fully.
Hold the assembled skimmer
above the skimmer chamber
with the pump side towards the
power center.
Notice the ribs on the front and
back of the skimmer.

Holding the pump air hose and power cord up out of the
tank, slide the skimmer assembly into the skimmer
chamber with the wide end down, lining up the skimmer
ribs with the vertical glass strips in the chamber. Bring the
skimmer to rest with the top of the skimmer in line with
the top of the aquarium frame. Make sure that there is no
pressure being put on the air line.
Thread the pump cord and hose through the cord access
hole, leaving the flow valve above the skimmer chamber.
