It comes with a pump. You need to supply flow to and from the sump.

hmmm i'm a little confused....i have a mega flow pre drilled in my tank right now does that mean i just put the skimmer in the sump and it sucks in water and i just put a hose that connects to the mega flow?

The water should overflow from the tank into the sump. The skimmer pump then moves water from the sump into the skimmer. The return pump moves water from the sump to the tank. Well, I'm assuming the sump is below the tank, which isn't always the case.

That's how this skimmer is designed to work. The RC models can be set up differently.

That animation shows how a sump works. The protein skimmer doesn't change the basic flow at all.
