Octopus skimmers

Does anyone have contacts or have any assistance they can offer on an Octopus HOB BH-100F skimmer.

I want to upgrade the needlewheel pump inside this thing to a more powerful one.

Currently it has a RESUN KING 225F pump.
I was hoping to upgrade to a new sicce pump that Octopus puts on their new HOB skimmers, but it seems the fittings are in the wrong place....

Any ideas?
 
I'm just looking for ANY replacement / upgrade pump for the BH-100F.
I like the sicce pumps, but any upgrade will do, pending if fits obviously.

Here is the skimmer :

FYI, you can't just add a bigger pump and expect the skimmer to work better. The pump has a specific flow rate and air draw which matches the skimmer. Putting a bigger pump with a higher flow rate and air draw can make the skimmer function worse...or not at all.
If you want to replace the pump, get 1 rated for the same flow as the original.
