can I just add some pumps to this bad boy to get it to work

Yeah should be able to. I’ve personally never ran one so I’m not familiar with how many pumps you need. But from my recollection i believe one pump was used to feed the skimmer and several smaller pumps were hooked up almost like a closed loop that’s why there’s so many holes on skimmer body. If it’s a euro reef they used sedra pumps with needle impellers. I believe you can still get those pumps but not sure where. Hopefully somebody chimes in that actually ran one of these bad boys.

If you google euro reef recirculating skimmer you should get done images to give you a better idea of what you’re dealing with.
