It IS helpful, thanks.
 FWIW I didn't realize you were *supposed* to have a trickle in the upper standpipe, rather I figured it was harmless to have it.

Ok, so, you know how sometimes Home Depot will surprise you by what they don't have? Sometimes, although less frequently .. they'll surprise you with what they do have.
I found this by serendipity last night:  It's meant as a vent cover for 2" PVC, sits inside a coupler piece. So, a quick bout with the chop saw and the top of the standpipe now looks like this:  So I cut a new piece of pipe (only had about 12" left of 2" PVC) and extended the standpipe. Looks like I could have gone 1/2" - 3/4" longer still, but nevertheless it's still a huge improvement in noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wed0uKr0AY8

Tony that's awesome but if you're worried about fish getting past the eggcrate into the overflow in the first place how does this help? Looks like same spacing as eggcrate?
