I run a hydor also, do what I do, take out the inner ring on the skimmer (where the neck of the skimmer cup goes)... I have run it this way since the beginning and it works great. Then you don't have to fight with putting it on or throwing it around.
Oh Yeah, Yuck!!! What a mess.

Some pictures out of boredom. Seeing these really drives home to me I should consider Lasik or something.
 The rabbit is now the second-largest fish in the tank.    When the trigger doesn't think I'm looking, she is a more emerald green colour. I have no idea the significance of the blue. Her way of asking for food maybe???  Here you can see the significant bleaching to my purple carpet.  Been about 3 months now, maybe more. Still eating at least, I am hoping it will recover over time and after transfer to the new tank.

Ok! Back on track. Maybe! Hopefully! Geez, I really hope so anyhow.
Sump is slid back in place, and replumbed. Sump return:  What I did was take the chop saw to the original bulkhead and then chipped off the bulkhead off the elbow piece so I wouldn't have to buy new 2" ball valve pieces. I had enough of the bulkhead left to re-use it, so I did. It's just a low-profile bulkhead now. The threads are just long enough to clear through the 10mm glass and have about 2mm poking out under the thread nut. And the skimmer is hooked up and plumbed:  Pardon the mess of wires .. I've not been worrying about the wiring until I was reasonably happy with the placement of "stuff" (skimmer, pumps, etc.) Cleaning up the wiring will be a job in itself, but for a later day.

Looking good Tony. I think we already discussed this earlier: The skimmer emptying into a filter sock is a great idea, but you're going to get ****y having to change the sock every day or two. In hind sight I would have set mine up with a way bigger sock than the 4" one. I"m lucky to get two days before changing.
