If you just want it for oxygen and don't want it to remove nutrients, run it with the cup off (or with the plug removed from the cup.)

If it’s new and your just now setting it up their will be a break in period of at least a week or two . Read the manual as to how to best run that unit for during the break in period .

I think an Oxygen Pump would have been $500 cheaper.

Eventually he will need to use the skimmer as intended...

if your bubbles are breaking at the collar where the cup attaches and you are running it at 50% then you should be fine for now. just let it run like that for a week and don't adjust it at all unless it overflows. in which case open the gate valve a turn or two, pr lower the pump speed to bring down the internal water level. skimmer needs to slime up

post a video of it running after several days and we may have more suggestions for you. seems like you may be on the right track.
