Got mine used on the board. There are lots of bubbles, even with the bubble trap for the first month or so... expecially on new tanks. Now that its been running for over 2 mths, not a bubble in sight... might take off the bubble trap. I agree with that the size of the pump is rather large, but in a larger tank, if you put it in the corner, its not overly noticeable.
Only bad thing with them, as compared to a.. say remora, is they overflow onto the carpet if you don't set them right. Getting them set is the biggest thing! New ones are apperently harder to get set right. If you add water to the tank and the skimmer is set at max, it will overflow because water flow in the tank, raises the level in the skimmer, and thus pushes it out the top.
Overall, I love it. Once you get used to it, its a breeze.
