Don't connect it to the bottom drain pipe, the skimmer should have its own piping going to your settlement chamber so you can maximize its sucking effect. Connecting it to your bottom drain will cut its efficiency. Would be better if you can make an adjustable skimmer so you can follow the water line as necessary. Here's a pic of my DIY adjustable skimmer made from PVC connectors and pipes. I cover it with a small piece of left over pipe when I feed them.
