Albert - stop taking credit, you didn't come up with this design. Search RC for silent overflow, it's well detailed there.

Yeah, hi, I'm not taking credit.

Additionally, I've had at least ten people use this design perfectly well with a good quality ball-valve. I think the most time spent on the adjustment was somewhere in the neighborhood of five minutes. But hey, for anyone who wants to spend more than $25 on a valve, it's their money.

And hey Andy, if you would like, please step up and take the throne to the Kingdom of Negative-attitudes. It's all yours.
