Anyone ever convert a LARGE pump into a needlewheel or mesh pump?

I bought a VERY large downdraft skimmer that I thought about modifying into a recirc orca type skimmer.I was wondering if anyone has ever modded a large pump like a sequence into a needlewheel or mesh pump?I may just buy a reeflo orca needlewheel pump but they are expensive.Any thoughts???

I believe there's been a meshwheel mod thread somewhere too.
