Well thanks in advance to start lol I got this protein skimmer and about 80 pounds of live rock for 60 bucks I do know that this is a euro reef skimmer would anyone know which model? It came with a sedra pump rated at 350 gph that needs a new impellar. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The 1st pic and last are just showing the symbol and the 2nd and 3rd are body shots

well from what I hear its old school it came with the tank but lifts out. Its for a deep sand bed I believe theres little holes to keep water flowing in pvs so you put you sand on top then cover it with egg crate and add more sand on top. Theres a name for it but I cant remember and thats pretty much all I know about it. Most big tanks I aquire have those for some reason the one in the pic is a 150 gallon acrylic tank then the other one it came with was a custom 140 gallon flatback hex.

The symbol on the top of your protein skimmer leads me to believe it’s a Euro-Reef. If you do a web search for euro-reef I am willing to bet you find your skimmer

Missing some parts it seems... pump and such, but you can probably use an off the shelf needlewheel pump and make it work or order the correct pump for it.
Submerge it in a bucket full of tapwater and a bit of CLR overnight, rinse very, very well, and it'll look and perform good as new. If you are afraid of using CLR, you can use a heavy concentration of vinegar or a cupful of muriatic acid in the bucket instead.
