I haven't any actual experience with these filters, but what exactly do you need to know?  They all have similar needs.  Basically put them together, fill them with water and plug it in?  Sorry for the smart aleck answer, but I'm not sure exactly what the question was!

Here is some info I got,don't know if it will help. The Aquamaster Filter by Danner Mfg. It uses a Bio Matrix filter. Other power filters/protein skimmer made by Danner is the Skilter.  Hope this helps you find/dig the internet for more info.

I was interested in these filters awhile back because of the sheer volume of water that they move. I was not able to find much information on them either. I couldn't even find anyone still selling them.

What is the question?

I'm just trying to find out about them....like how to put it together, how much can I fill it......etc.  It is a really BIG filter.  The pump is external.

A bit late with this posting but, I have the same power filter/pump. I can say this "it is quite old". I have had mine since the 70's and still going strong. This was the preferred type filter system back in the day. Now most of what you see is gravity type systems which frankly suck compared to these old gems. Here are basic parts: motor or power head, 90degree fitting with air cap which allows air to be introduced into water flow, 2 to 4 1in siphon tubes, pump mounting grate and reservoir. I do not remember how much water mine moves but, I can tell you it moves allot. To set it up just place the pump mounting grate in the bottom of the reservoir layer some filter cotton as I call it about an inch thick. Then pour a layer of charcoal about 1/2" on that then another layer of filter cotton about another inch. Place the pump on the mounting tube located at one end of the mounting grate then fill reservoir. Cap short end of tubes submerge in water to fill and lower short end of tube in the reservoir. Once all tubes are in place plug her in. These pumps do run a bit louder than your typical gravity flow but, nothing you won't get used to.
