venturi-skimmer pumps

I have a hang-on excalibur skimmer that is currently equipped with a rio 800 w/venturi kit. I've never been really impressed with the aeration that the rio creates and lately it's been geting less and less air in the skimmer chamber - I've cleaned it out twice in the last week to have only a slight, but short lived effect in increasing the aeration. I just got a bak-pak on my QT - which is equipped with a maxi-jet 1200. That pump REALLY gets a foam going! Unfortunately I don't think the suction -cup braket for the maxi-jet would fit in the skimmer box of my excalibur. does anyone have any suggestions for a better pump? a mod on the max-jet? or a fix on the rio?
