What the brand name of the skimmer, it should have a groove on the base that the o-ring sit in.

Its a turbofloter aqua medic shorty 5000. There is a groove that is like 5% larger than the o-ring. It doesnt fit in there quite as thight as I'd like.

Does your skimmer have an oring there?

Thanks guys for the instructions and the o-ring tip. I'll give it a shot and report back either here or in my build thread. Hoping to fill the tank tomorrow night or the next night.
