Major thing to remember with these skimmers, is to have the intake as close to the surface as possible, and keep the water level for that pump stable.
I'm finding pulling the pump off every 10-14 days and running it in some 50/50 vinegar/water solution really helps keep production up... Andy

My Super Skimmer 220 sits in about 12 inches of water. It would fit into a 12x10 inch space. You can adjust the water level in the skimmer once you get it into the sump so you could have it in more or less water.
Hope that helps.
