Hi all, I'm practically new again in the community. I had a 150 gallon glass tank that broke like 13 years ago. I need help identifying the brand of this old protein skimmer and if there is one in the market that has the water input directly from the top, like this one.

Note: My apologies for the disgusting conditions of the skimmer. I just found this old image on my archives.

Thanks in advance.
 
It looks like a MRC - My Reef Creations of some sort... they used a lot of blue acrylic. If it is, then it is a powerhouse... both in performance and the pump needed to run it. A lot of people discount downdraft and beckett skimmers now-a-days to save on some power, but they almost all performed better than needle-wheels.
