Hey all, I'm thinking of reusing this 50" relic, and would like to test things out before committing to $200-$300 in venturi pumps. Anyone have Sicce PSK-1000, Bubble Blaster 5000 or 10000 that I can borrow? Any different opinions on how I might bring this skimmer back to life?

For work I will be installing a 600g SPS system, and while I could budget many hundreds of dollars for a brand new skimmer, I was wondering if I could bring this old monster to life.
I don't know what it is/was, but it's definitely a recirculating model of some kind, with ports for two Eheim venturi pumps (one remains but is dead). How would you rebuild this beast? I'm between Mazzei injection (using the 1" port or dual 3/4" injectors) or sticking with an external feed and putting a Bubble Blaster 10,000 where that Eheim sits now (simpler).
Anyone know if the BB10000 can be hooked up with 3/4" plumbing, or will I need to drill new holes? Everything can be re-done with uniseals and plugged where needed.
