donations for a reef tank in old folks home

Here's the story My friend manages an old folks home and they have reef tank(it's a jebo)that needs allot of help.I've already done allot of work on it but it still needs a few things.It needs a pump for the sump I'm building and lighting, pc's would be fine ,skimmer and anything else you guys can help with. Oh btw it's a 45gl.My friend doesn't make much money so water changes and fish food is about all she can afford.The old folks would be very greatful to all those that can help.

Thanks-Shawn

I have a Jebo skimmer I'm not using, may have a pump....what kind of GPH does it need? I'm not sure if the stuff I have is here at my house or in Sacramento, I just moved down here and I still have some things up there. I'm hoping to go up tomorrow or Tuesday, then I'd know more of how much I could help.

It already has a jebo skimmer that doesn't work very well. Basically I'm trashing everything but the tank and stand.As for GPH 500 or so.

when i get the rest of my stuff i'll see if i have anything that could help. i haven't used this jebo skimmer it's brand new, (it came with some other stuff i bought), but when i did a google search on it all i found was that after a few weeks to get "broke in" they worked great? I'm new still and very inexperienced, do skimmers need cleaned, other than the collection cup?

I bet that Jebo skimmer could work well with a meshmod I have a Custom Sealife 2x96 watt ballast with the wiring harness if youd like. I have a bunch of old bulbs that were given to me that are claimed to have some life left in them. Let me know if youd like the setup. I think the length of the bulbs would be perfect for that tank.

Maintenance help

I could look in from time to time, as I'm already in that area a lot. Just let me know.
