Seaclone isn't going to do much anyway, invest in a better skimmer.

I find the sound my Red Sea PRIZM Deluxe Protein Skimmer makes so soothing it puts me to sleep!

I think that most reefers have their protein skimmer shut off during feeding, so I don't think that it should effect the break in cycle.

That's a good poll question. I think you'd be surprised with the answer.

Some people shut off their skimmers half the day, that could solve your noise issue:
