So I just had an impulsive buy the other day and got a HOB Skimz SH2 skimmer. Came with some pretty basic instructions but this is my first skimmer and want to make sure it’s hooked up correctly.

Does anyone know of a videos or have one of these that could help walk me through the setup?

I have a Colbalt MJ-1200 pump attached to pull water in but not sure how much water neeeds to be in the skimmer itself. I tried adjusting the outflow knob and it seems to be creating quite a bit of water flow and is kicking my sand up. If I turn it back the water level raises in the skimmer. Trying to find the balance and would just like some assistance

Thanks!
 
Also - is there a science behind how much air flow to allow? The quick guide instructions didn’t mention anything
 
Anyone...hello?? Please help!!

I can’t seem to find any videos online. The thing seems very loud...
 
Welp...can’t stand the sound of this thing...returning it. Planning on starting a sump and will just get an in-sump skimmer
