OK well I'm not too familiar with skilters myself but the fiurst thing would be to slow down the water flow. One way to do this would be to buy an aquaclear foam block, cut a hole in it and slip it over the filter's intake. As it collects debris and stuff it will slow the flow down drastically. But you'll need to rinse it occasionally or the particles will rot in the water column, which could pose a nitrate issue.
