Apparently I did have it connected to the output. I had to weave the air tube through a hole in the front of the pump and take the filter off the pump to attach it. Disregard my ignorance. The skimmer now works properly. I did raise my skimmer up in the sump to where it is in 6" of water. The water return is so high that water splashes everywhere and makes an unbelieveable noise. I don't think the connection is a stand size fitting. It looks 1", but it is bigger than that. I tried a inch and a fourth connector and it was too big. Anyone run into this problem before?
Thanks for the previous help.
