I can't tell for sure, but that might be a countercurrent skimmer. I would recommend getting a separate pump for it. Does it have a hookup for airstones? If not, it might be a venturi system, and would need a pump with a venturi setup. Any brand or model that you can see?

Protron Proffessional protein skimmer

Okay, then you'll want the water to flow down the tube which has the airstone in it. That's how it gets the name "countercurrent". A Google search might turn up some information on that brand.

A Magnum might be able to feed it water. I don't know much about Magnums. If not, any small pressure-rated pump should be a good guess. The skimmer was designed for a certain water flow, and I can't really guess what that rating would be. Maybe experiment if you can't find a manual, etc.?
