Your problem with the DC remaining blue is due to too high a flowrate, reduce this by more than half for best results. I have a 1900GPH pump and I reduce mine to 500~600GPH and my DC is limegreen anything higher and my DC will be blue even though lots of mist will be in the tank.

Noisy....well if you put your ear directly on the PVC you will hear the churning on the inside but I would'nt classify this as being noisy. This isn't audible standing back or mounted normally, well at least not IME and I truly doubt a canister filter will provide the flow required to produce this 'noise' you heard about anyways.
I am using an external 300GPH pump to power my reactor. Since it's only powering my reactor I have barely any head-loss as opposed to a canister with all the extra media therefore I am pumping more water @ a higher pressure causing more intense churning and I don't hear anything
so If there was noise I would have certainly have heard it because of my setup. I am very sure you will not hear any such noise with yours...it's an excellent reactor that gives great results....try it
