I think the mess mod with the needle wheel pump would be a pretty good mod for the skimmer. Give it some time and see what happens, you might have to raise the water level and see if that gives you skimmate.

Other the than the needlewheel upgrade the pump to much higher pressure pump to work with the venturi and then the skimmer will work pretty well. I had a TF500 that I ran with a LG 5 series pump and it actually worked very well, only down side is that it took to much electricity to run (like most venturi/downdraft/becket skimmers)
