Yes, the Protein skimmer is a bit noisy. I had both Precision Marine HOT-1 (venturi) and the AquaC Remora. I found the Remora to be slightly quieter but I've gotten use to the noise now and it doesn't bother me. As for smell, there is only smell coming from the skimmer. However, I put Chemipure (or carbon) in the collector cup and empty the cup once every week or 2 and there isn't much of a smell at all when I have carbon in the collector cup. In terms of humidity, its a non-factor. I don't find the room more humid at all.
You got a 120 in a small condo? That's cool. Some condos prohibit aquariums altogether and my condo limits them to 50 gallons. A friend of mine lives in a condo in Kits and an owner there had a 100-200 gal tank that leaked and flooded the floors below them. So, they decided to ban tanks of all sizes. Quite a shame.
