Yes that is pretty common with those octopus skimmers. There instructions suck! I would just try to look at a picture of the skimmer and put it together that way!
Good Luck!

you need a valve that you can shut for that blue line or you will not get a siphion from it so it will not pull in water. where did you get it from?
mine actually came straight from coralvue as the place I had bought it from was out- so the just had coralvue shipped it straight to my house I sent them an email to hopefully get a set of new instructions- in the meantime I got it running but have a ton of micro bubbles and can't figure out how to get rid of them- does yours also have 2 air hoses?

mine has one air hose that goes to the pump and the blue one that is to get the siphion going

hmm, I've got one too and that looks weird. Mine has a hose that I attach to the clear hose inside the skimmer to get it started, then once it's started, I turn the valve (which it appears you don't have) and remove the blue tube.
I get a lot of microbubbles, which is frustrating, but goes down to mildly annoying after a while. I helped reduce the bubbles by pointing my outflow at the side of the tank...
