    Its a no brand, i just wanted to see if it would work and it is :)

    That air driven skimmer is one of the best. You need to use an airpump that is equal to the skimmers output, im using a Rena 300 on mine, but as i said use an air pump that has the same output as the skimmer (maybe go a little stronger then you have room to play).

    Kind of yes, but only if its air driven, i suspect you have one with a pump (venturi) so you would not need to.

    They don't make the one I used to use, so this is just a guess, but this one looks good for your skimmer:

    Maybe someone else can chime in here.
