Default Protein Skimmer Air pump question??

So before work this morning I completed my 29g Eclipse set-up.

I added a single light strip to the hood, I now have a total of 79watts, good enough I guess...

Heres my question, So I managed to fit a Berlin Air-lift 60 skimmer in the right corner(this thing barely fits, had to use some force)

Now its installed, and all I need is the air pump? Whats the best choice for my setup, 29g tank, skimmer is for a 60g, does this matter??

Are there any air pumps that allow me to adjust the air flow?

If any eclipse guys want to see pics of how it looks I would be glad to share...

Here is a pump with a control you can also add a needle valve to maintain a good level of air!
