How to hook skimmer to power head?

[Pete]

I have a protein skimmer that needs to have a separate power head.

How do people hook these up?
Any websites with photos?

It looks like the power head needs 7/8" tube and the skimer is 3/4"

Does it matter what tube I use?
I have some nylon reinforced. But it seems too stiff. Hard to make
the bend out of the tank.

I guess I will need some PVC reducers and maybe a couble 90° elbows.


Is there an easy way to do this?

thanks

It hangs on the back.

It is a americal, I think the size for 90gal tanks.

And a penguin power head 145 gph
