It shouldn't require any larger pump than a normal beckett skimmer. The height of the skimmer does not matter because the injector is up very high and therefore not going to have much backpressure on it.

I agree that he is going to need one hell of a pump for that one. seeing the down tube is 2.5" and so high a normal pump will be hard pressed putting any amount of bubbles to the bottom against the water colume, and if anything it is going to make big bubbles instead of small ones. I agree that some sort of recirc or needle wheel in the bottom may be required. you would almost be better off turning it into a counter current skimmer at that hight.
