NW110 skimmer question

I have the NW110 Protein skimmer for a few months and recently upgraded tanks to a 200 gallon system and have yet to upgrade the protein skimmer.
Recently I have noticed a lack of production in a fairly heavily stocked tank, so I was wondering if a better pump is due.

Wanted to know if it was possible to just replace the pump with a bubble blaster HY-5000. Also if I would need any adapters as well?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

That skimmer is way undersized for a 200gal and can only upgrade the pump to a bb1000 which is not going to help you in you situation.

If your looking at the Diablo/Extreme line then I would suggest the XS-250 for your tank.
