How would you grade the build quaility and noise? Nice skimmer.

you may want to lower the air/water line just a bit.

How deep do you have it

The build quality is ok for the price , 389 + tax (13% in Canada), material similar to Deltec . You can see the bubble starting build up at the same day. I have a Deltec and it took weeks for me to tune it right. It is running with low noise , almost silent.

I dropped the water level 1.5 inch, will see how the result be. Thanks for your suggestion.

One thing I found, may happen to other skimmer. When feeding, the bubble is below the cup, but it recover to original level very quick

Yes, I have the Deltec with white pump, noise mainly from the air inlet.
Only 2 days, so far, CO3 is way better, almost silent, constant bubble, .. Cost is much lower.
