It is called an AquaC Urchin. Rated for about a 60-75g tank, or so. Did it come with a cup for the top? They were good. It is an injection type of skimmer. If you have the top, you need a pump in the 400-450 gallon range - hope that yours is similar. They are probably as good as an average modern needle wheel of the same size.

Yea I have a clear cup for the top and if you say 400-450gallon, you mean the pumps pump rate?
