Question skimmer question

I recently got a mag pump for my skimmer that does a decent job of removing junk from my tank. I have been doing some researching and have a question. If I were to get an ocean runner 2700 to run my skimmer, would it work first off. Second, is it big enough for my 75 gallon tank. I think that I will make the mag pump a closed loop pump with some penductors if I decide to get the OR. Any help is appreciated.

That is probably to much water for the skimmer. It would be more beneficial to make sure there are plenty of microbubbles inside the skimmer to remove waste.

I understand how a skimmer works. I want to know if having the needlewheel will be more beneficial or not. I do have a good amount of bubbles in the middle tube presently, but if the needlewheel will make even more, then that would allow for more nutrient export, correct?

I guess I should have mentioned that I have a Red Sea Berlin XL skimmer.
