Download the manual. It is a great little skimmer but can be finicky.

had one on my 80 gallon reef and worked great. set and forget.

just remember to clean out the air intake every so often with fresh water.

Want to know what I'm doing wrong and how does the water return back to the sump if this is external because the footprint is too big for the return pump plus the skimmer and skimmer pump.

You would have to either drill a hole in the sump for the water return or raise it high enough to clear the top of the sump. You don't want it in the return section of the sump.

You have the hose connecting to the skimmer on the wrong part. That is the air intake. Water inlet is the one above it
