Ring for a filter sock maybe, on the output?

I hear ya, but the water outlet is on the bottom, nowhere near where a filter sock could go! Not trying to be an a**, I just can't figure out what the hell it's for and it keeps me wondering if I'm missing something important.

If your still interested, someone translated the writing, and it's a stand.
The ring is intended to go under the skimmer if your water level is too high for the skimmer to function.

How is the skimmer doing lately?

oh, thanks, that thought had crossed my mind but I thought there was no way I could be right about that! The skimmer is about the same as the last post, by the way. I've come to the conclusion that I hate skimmers - or maybe I hate myself! Every skimmer I've ever owned I spend all my time wondering if another one would be better and then when I get it I'm always excited at first and disappointed before long. And then shortly after that, I'm looking for a new skimmer again! Aaaarrrgghhh! Yeah, the problem is definitely me, I'm the same way with cars, stereo equipment, and computers.

Just thought I'd post an update on the skimmer... I solved most of my complaints with it by running it at 1" more depth than before. I guess it's sensitive to water level. Now it skims consistently and well, though not as well as I remember my previous Deltec skimming. (then again, what does?) Overall, though, it's a solid skimmer. I just didn't want anyone to read my last entry and think that my conclusion was that it sucks or is a POS.
