Definitely go for Herbie's overflow system if you really want silence.

I would use a gate valve rather than a ball valve, much easier to control, I started with a ball valve then changed over to a gate valve and it made a big difference.

With this system you just need straight perforated pipe for both the primary (gated ) standpipe and for the emergency overflow pipe.
Would it be possible to post a link? I can't search as I'm not a member-I don't need anymore website addictions!!!! Canreef eats up enough time as it is!!!
Thanks.
