Old protein skimmer

[Brandonn]

I received a old protein skimmer/ozone reactor from a friend who shut his tank down a year or 2 ago. He had it running , I know it’s old, I would love to get this thing back up and going ! What do I need? Lol I don’t want to buy a new one. Please help me with this one

powerful air pump and maybe a new air stone. . This looks like a air only driven skimmer ..

A way to pump water through it with an adjustable flow control

I had a Berlin skimmer years ago and it worked so well on a 40 gallon I had. Pump stone n u should be good to go as Erica-Renee stated

Hello,

I agree with others and I feel really dumb after looking at he first pic. It took me a moment to realize that it wasn’t under your tank. So was curious why you had a toaster there. I was about say errrrr did the other person think the toaster was the ozone generator. But as I saw other pics (.its on the counter ), I nice vinegar bath would be good for the skimmer, (not the toaster, specially if plugged in).

Wow haven’t seen a skimmer like that in years. I had an air driven skimmer a long time ago. They work but not nearly as well as pump driven skimmers.
