what is your water hight in the skimmer? If you have it set so the water is only say 4 foot up the tube then you could lower the Beckett to just above that hight. also if there is a way for you to sleeve down the 2.5" Beckett tube to a 1" tube it would work a bit better I think. with those changed it might work with a mag 18.

Looking at that again is your 6" tube part 6 foot tall? you could probably cut that down to 3 foot and use the left over to make a kalk reactor or Ca reactor, or skimmit collection cup, but I would change the Beckett tube to a 1 inside diameter tube also.
