Hmm...so it is venturi driven (although to be honest, I am not that familiar with these skimmers).

A couple things to think about (again, I don't know all that much about these guys).

(1) Increasing water flow through an existing venturi valve (if these models in fact to do have a venturi valve in the skimmer).

(2) Buy a kent's venturi valve and a pump pushing about 500 gph or so and plumb that in very close to the skimmer inlet.

You might have considered those things or they might not even be an option but that is all my brain could come up with right now. Or worse case scenario, you could drop an airstone into the base (but this is probably unneccesary).

Take er easy
