Really silly question about protein skimmer....

The pump goes in the water I'm assuming? The directions are not good at all. I had to figure out how to put it together looking at the picture on the box. Thanks for the response to a completely common sense question. Lol

Pump in the water and air hose out and preferably above water level to prevent a syphon

That would all depend on what type/brand/model of skimmer you have.

Still depends if it's a "in sump" or HOB (hang on back) skimmer. In sump will have a specific depth in water to perform at it's best

Agreed 100%
There are ones with an external pump also

Thanks everyone. It is a coralife 125 hang on or in sump skimmer. I figured it out and it's working.
