Does anyone know what protein skimmer this is ? It’s Instant Ocean and kinda old

[BostonBill678]

I had this in my basement and it worked ok but I lost the directions and I can’t fit my Marineland 1500 maxi jet on it any ideas on how to set it up ? My other protein skimmer blew 2 nights ago.I don’t have a sump or a refugium.Just the main tank .I have extra tanks to make a sump or refuge but don’t have the cash rite now .I would like to set this back up until I got the cash to make a sump but not for a couple months.I’m just trying to hook my maxijet 1500 onto it for now.Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks Bill

Wow, missed these HOB skimmers.

Haven't seen a seaclone since 2004 when I first got into the hobby. Pretty sure there's a piece missing that screws onto the j-pipe to attach the powerhead.

That’s what I’ve been looking for that piece but I don’t know what it looks like I’m gonna see if I can find what it looks like hopefulily ,if I can find setup directions for the skimmer .It’s been in a drained tank down my basement for about 20 years.lol I bought 3 power heads thinking they were just the wrong size.
