Help with skimmer

[restep19807]

Ok I bought a skimmer the other day. I am a newb to the saltwater hobby. What to I need for this skimmer other then the pump (what pump would be good for it). I know it's dirty lol

Does it have a label on it? The label should tell you what GPH it's rated for which will help you with choosing the pump. Other than a pump you don't need anything although this doesn't look like a HOB so it will need to be placed in a sump.
Take off all the rubber seals and O rings and give it a vinegar bath. That and a light scrub should clean it up nicely

No its sits in my sump. There is no labeling at all on it so I guess it's a guessing game lol

When I bought it the guys said he had it on a 75 and it worked wonderful. It stands about 21 inches tall and 4" in diameter
