???Kind of equipment

Can someone tell me who makes these items I could not find a manufacture on them anywhare? I'm not sure what they are rated for I am going to have a hammer head 5800gph pump running my system and need to make sure these will work setting up my 300gallon. Maybe someone out there has some like this.

First one is a Deltec or a very good DIY skimmer that was made to look like a Deltec.

Never heard of that name before but based on the size of the skimmer, doesn't look like it could handle a 300 gallon tank. If you sell it send me a PM, I'll buy it from you.

Skimmer is not a Deltec, if using the same pump as a Deltec, probably could handle up to around 150g. I think it is the DAS skimmer.

The wet/dry filter would work great filled with live rocks, rubble size.

yes its a DAS. I have one too that looks just like it. ( I can't believe we haven't met). Mine is a single pump skimmer as well and I believe it was rated for 250 to 300g. BUT I would never run it on one that big. Not without a buddy for it to help ease the load. I'm planning on running mine on my 100G once I get it ready for a reef.

Overflow looks to be a CPR or a clone.
