    Does anyone have any illustration on how to use this? If the inlet/outlet pipes are supposed to inside the tank, does that mean pump too? It came with very vague instruction.

    the pump goes on the pips under the collection cup, hang it on the side of your tank, the pump and outlet pipe sould be in the water. u might get some micro bubbles in your dt till the the new skimmer gets alitttle build up on the inside be patient.
