Product Questions
Take care
Unfortunately that will be too thick to work with this skimmer. The classic 1000 will work with rimmed aquariums with a rim thickness of up to 1.125".
Happy reefing!
The skimmer can hang off the back of your tank, and even if it physically sits lower than your tank that is fine. Ultimately the drain for the skimmer just needs to be able to freely drain back into the tank.
Thanks for the question and if you have any more, let us know.

The Air Valve will be for adjusting the amount of air into the skimmer to adjust the amount and shape of the bubbles. this can help to reduce overfilling and keep a solid skimmate production.
This skimmer will need 5" above the rim of the tank. ideally 6" is nice to have to remove the collection cup and skimmer removal. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Ideally the tank should be around 17" high or higher for this to work well without hanging off the back to the bottom. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
I personally wouldn't put a filter sock on the skimmer itself. The main concern is that if the filter sock clogs up and reduces the output a little bit it could cause your skimmer cup to overflow all over the floor :(
