Hey all! I just received this tank with sump and some other equipment. It looks like it came with an old protein skimmer? , a calcium reactor, a lifegard uv sterilizer.


Im trying to figure out what I need to get in order to get the tank set up and running. Im unsure of how to set up the protein skimmer for sure.
There are drill holes in the tank that I’m not sure what to do with as well.
I have no idea where to start as to plumbing the tank so I appreciate all advice and tips!

Thank you for the help!

I forgot to add that the tank has a dual overflow
