Waste of $$.
Don't bother, I had one for all of one week and took it back.

Buy a Sapphire. It's specifically made for the BC 29 and is a "real" skimmer.

Like messiah said, check out www.sapphireaquatics.com
I was at their shop the other day when they were building my sump and they are doing some NICE things with nano skimmers.
And they are running on tiny 7 watt pumps!!!

People love to say this skimmer doesn't do anything at all. I have the stock BC29 skimmer and it DOES take crud out. I can see it foaming like crazy sometimes. I have to empty it every couple days. It will get some viscous crud out too --not just greenish or tea colored water. If you are trying to get down to zero nitrates, though, the more expensive skimmers are needed. Better skimmers do a better job.
