Did I get my skimmer right?

[gradth]

Just picked up a Remora aquaC protein skimmer today. Was told I could set it up with my wet/dry. So I did.
Did I do it correctly? It seems to be working accordingly, I have some foam coming up but not spilling over yet?
Other issue is it now sounds like a freakin waterfall in my living room. How do I fix that?
Here are some pics.
Any advice would be great.

Seemed to work good. It filled up almost half the container last night.

It sounds like it needs tuning... IMO, it shouldn't fill up overnight unless you have a very dirty tank. Is the skimmate light green and watery? It needs to be turned down until it slowly produces a thick, dark green or brown skimmate. New skimmers take awhile to break in and frequent adjustments might be necessary.
Don't really know how to fix the noise. I have never used one of those skimmers.
