Skimmer mod question

I bought a used DYI becket skimmer that has been running well for over a year now run by a mag 18. The pump is going and rather than replacing it I was wondering if I could buy a needle wheel pump and retrofit it. The skimmer is about 25 inches tall (6" acrylic cylinder) with a 12x8" box style bottom chamber, very typical of becket style skimmers. What kind of needle wheel pump would everyone recomend I use with this skimmer to give me maximum bubble count?
