Looks like you got yourself a good bit of equipment there... I don't have the time right now to explain how to connect everything, but I guarantee if you do some searches on this website through previous threads the the equipment/DIY section, you will find LOTS of diagrams and various setups for almost every type of tank imaginable... surely including a design that will fit the equipment you have there. I hope you can find someone who lives close to help you, too. Good luck.

From what it looks like you have a
wet dry
protein skimmer
overflow box
return pump
The overflow box drains the water from the tank
The water then flows into the wet dry
then some water is sent to the skimmer and some is sent to the tank.
Can you post individual pics of all the equipment?

Pics 1 and 3 both look like parts to an overflow box. I would use the one in pic3. You hang them on the tank and they work off a syphon principle. This will drain the water to your wet dry filter. The wet dry is the black box with all the blue balls inside it. The black plastic slab goes on top and that connects to your overflow box. The two vacuum cleaner looking hoses connect the two.
