ozone and skimmer and luft pumps


I have a red sea ozone unit running threw my aqua c becket skimmer. The problem I was facing was that the pump used to push ozone to the skimmer does not produce enough air for the skimmer. I am currently using a whisper air pump rated for 100gal and another rated for 60 gallon to produce enough air so that my skimmer doesnt choke. I have been reading about Luft pumps. Will this give me the air flow I need?

I had always read that you are just supposed to T the air intake for the skimmer, which will allow enough air in while pulling the ozone at the same time.
