    Bought this from a fellow reefer and never having one before have no clue how to set it up. My tank is not drillable. It's a 50 gal cheapie.
    Can someone tell me what I need and how to plumb it?
    Thanks so much. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1368012340.967509.jpg

    It's an Aqua C skimmer. It's a good simple skimmer. Do you have the manual for it? It will tell you what pump you need. I take it you don't have a sump on your tank? If not you will need to set the pump in the aquarium and have a shelf to set the skimmer on near rhe surface of the tank. It will take some rigging to make it work since the skimmer is designed to go in a sump but could work. I'm in Benton & will be glad to help try to get it working.

    I've seen this particular skimmer used as a HOB skimmer before, I'll see if I can dig up the picture.

    I don't have the manual. And need to get a sump up and going. I have looked at aqua C's website and cannot find this particular model. I do however have several pumps.

    I can close this chapter. My husband bought me a new skimmer for Mothers Day. It had directions.

    Thanks for the offer of help hook the old one up.
