plumbing help pretty please
I have a proclear aquatic impact skimmer 600 and would like to know how to plumb it for external use under my tank. If someone could show me a picture of this or a diagram I would be so grateful.

Show me a pic of yours and you can see a pic of my Euro Reef CS8-3+ plumbed outside my sump in my gallery.

I'm unfamiliar with the brand, but that photo surely makes it look like that skimmer is designed for in sump use.
I take it from your setup descrpition that you do not use a sump. Every skimmer I am personally familiar with is fed with a pump and drains by gravity. If you have a sump you can operate it in there (given the correct water to skimmer outlet height).

Maybe, if you put it above your tank. Send me a PM if you want to try that and need help. If you can, you will be MUCH better off sending it back from where you got it. Use the money and get a good hang on model.
