    It looks pretty simple, hook a pump up to the input (halfway up the skimmer) and the bottom is the output. I haven't seen a design quite like this but that would be the in and out.

    Might want to put an air control valve on the venturi inlet as well. That is the tube that is on the fitting half way up the skimmer.

    That skimmer looks as though you would need to mount it above the water level of the tank it feeds back into. Say on the top of you sump for example. If not it the water level in the skimmer would always be at the level of the water in its adjoining tank. Also you should add a valve on the output in order to control the water volume in the skimmer so you can adjust your effluent viscosity.....
