hey i bought a long time ago an emperor aquatics skimmer 7 and i never used it when i decided to go nano instead... point being now im doing up my 55 and i think i could use this thing

however it didnt come with a pump or instructions on how to plumb it.

Anyone ever had one of these i dont have a pic or can even find it online... its old school like pumas with fat laces.

it looks like beige PVC with an outlet for a skimmate hose on top a little window to see foaming at top as well... the bottow has two inlets one with a ball valve and the other with an inlet for water and a connection which i would assume is for an airline hose...

what pump do i need for this thing should i get a venturi or just a reg pump and it should draw air via the airline?

use a rio 2100, use the venturi airline, you could also run a airpump to a lime stone sitting at the bottom of the skimmer.


pics would help-
