I'm thinking the unit could be quieted down by cutting some of the collector lid out, possibly at the area where the air intake is? Eliminating the acoustics of the skimmer collector.

I would like to get it working, as it seemed a good idea to help cycle liverock a few pounds at a time.

Re bubles in the first chaimber : mine had a buffle upside down . Change the position and this will help, also if you take it appart and put all parts back togeher tightly it will be quiet-er.
Air intake noise can be lowered by installing a 35mm film container (with holes in the top cover) on top of intake i did that on Deltec MCE600 and Rio both air intakes are quiet now
