Hey all.... I am new to the forum and glad to join. Someone gave me a Reef Dynamics protein skimmer but that as far as I got with it. I was able to google and figure out the maker but other than that nothing else. First it does not have a label on it must have fallen or someone took it off so dont know what model it may be. The skimmer it self round is about 6 1/2 inches and tall with the cup is about 30" or so. It is a nice size skimmer and was hoping to figure out what is missing besides the pump. So where the water comes out it has 2 pipes straight up and thats it.
So if anyone may have this same skimmer or knows about these skimmers please help... If you dont mind. Just looking to see what is missing from where the water comes out and how it is setup for that and what pump I will need for this skimmer. I will try to attach pics. Thank you for any help possible

The exit water flows out of the top of the riser (that moves up and down) that is what you adjust to allow the water to rise in lower in teh body of the skimmer. There usually foam around the riser to cut down on noise.

You are missing the Sera 3500 skimmer pump, they can still be bought because ASM still uses them.

The skimmer sits in 7" of water.

That is a very good skimmer, perfect size for 55 gallon tank.

Enjoy and Happy reefing
 
Just making sure so the pipe on the right is good to go.... Thats all that supposed to be there?
 
The pipe is upside down, there should be a o-ring on it. The o-ring gives it resistance so it does not fall down by it self.
